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". ;)

A guy has a talking dog. He brings it to a talent scount. "This dog can speak English," he claims to the unimpressed agent. "Okay, Sport," the guys says to the dog, "what’s on the top of a house?" "Roof!" the dog replies. "Oh, come on..." the talent agent responds. "All dogs go ‘roof’." "No, wait," the guy says. He asks the dog "what does sandpaper feel like?" "Rough!" the dog answers. The talent agent gives a condescending blank stare. He is losing his patience. "No, hang on," the guy says. "This one will amaze you. " He turns and asks the dog: "Who, in your opinion, was the greatest baseball player of all time?" "Ruth!" goes the dog. And the talent scount, having seen enough, boots them out of his office onto the street. And the dog turns to the guy and says "Maybe I shoulda said DiMaggio?"
