Mr Sun, from Beijing, says two-year-old Agui says his name when he gets frightened.

"Last year I was helping him take a bath, and he was scared of the water. After couple of 'miaow's, I heard a clear 'Agui'," he told the Star Daily.

"At first I doubted what I was hearing, but he kept calling his name, very clearly, and sounding like a child."

Mr Sun says that from then on, Agui has said his own name whenever he is frightened.

"At bath time, when he gets a shot from the vet, or gets scared playing outside, he cries out, 'Agui'," he added.

The Fangzhuang Pet Hospital has filmed Agui saying his name when Mr Sun pretended to give him a bath.

A hospital spokesman said repeatedly hearing his own name would have made an impression on Agui which comes out under stress.

"If the owner can give him systematic training, the cat should be able to speak more Chinese," a spokesman claimed.

My cat has learned there is no "me" in "meow", and when he wants my attention, and he usually gets it, by howling "ow!".

My cat stands on my chest every morning, gets in my face and says,

FEED ME!

I thought all cats did that.

My dog can answer questions:

1. What's on the top of the house?
2. What does sandpaper feel like?
3. Who was the greatest basball player of all time?

Mr. Sun is mistaken. Agui is actually a Mexican cat, in China simply doing the mousecatching Chinese cats are too lazy to do, and he was saying "AGUA". ;)
