Hi, well ....my cat is freaking me out ...he suddenly started calling my mom "MA-MA" and ok at first we thought that was just a normal cat sound ..until we noticed that he only makes that sound when he calls my mom out to play since she is the one who plays with him most of the time. He also makes those sounds when he sees her or is looking for her. It would make sense since we call my mom that all the time lol. Then we noticed an even weirder thing... he calls my sister! her name is Naomi, but we call her "Nao" (with an spanish accent) so the cat calls her that too! with that same accent...and once again i thought it must be my imagination but we all hear the same thing...He calls my sister when her door is closed, when he is looking for her and when she arrives home from school. Those 2 are made for each other i believe lol....the cat seems to prefer her. He also did something very weird last time...I was very sick and it was like 4 am in the morning. i had a high fever, sore troat and i was shaking a lot. I went to my parents room to ask for a pill, but the door was locked, I was so weak i couldn't yell and they couldn't hear me even though I was knocking the door ... then my cat came and started meowing to the door and throwing himself to the door too. He even tried to reach the door knob and was very nervous. I really wanted too sit down, i was tired and everything was blurry then he started licking me,.. that really freaked me out, I mean his behaviour, i knocked the door one more time and my mom finally heard me. The cat slept on my door the rest of the night. He also appears out of nowhere when I'm crying and licks me and stuff...Is this even normal in a cat? I just want to know so I can stop thinking he is possesed or something lol... really he freaks me out. I never had a cat this weird... Thank u guys :)
 
cats can see ghosts and ghosts can make cats go all weird like talk and all that or it could just be a uniqe cat if that was my cat i would be proud of it and not saying its freaking me out just be happy or take my advice the ghosts make cats go all weird trust me my dog does that all the time and i have ghosts in my house so just prace your cat that its learning english and just think its part of your family your cat so he wants you to accept him 4 who he or she is
 
There is a behavior called "Imprinting", but this is wierd with the fact that this cat is older than when imprinting is used, but maybe the kitten doesn't remember it's mother, and you guys were the only thing that it remembers so that is why it could be imitating your language.
 
I say instead of being worried, be happy! I mean, not all cats can do that. And it's kinda cute. Maybe your cat is a brainiac or something! lol...Anyway, if my cat does that i would be so proud of her!
 
Definitely possessed. This happens sometimes. Probably from canned food he's been eating.

Make sure to keep an eye on him and flash a mirror at him. Demon cats can't stand their own reflections.
 
awwwww so cute :))

actually, according to some cats actually make sounds because they're imitating human speech. feral cats don't meow like house cats..

it sounds like you just have a very smart, cute, caring housecat on your hands :)
