Is that real and is it possible to train a cat to do it?

I'm pretty sure it's real. I've seen cats that when you touch a certain spot, they'll react in a certain way every time. It's not something that can be trained, though.

A friend of mine's cat, when you pet him on his rear will wash his right front leg. I have a kitten that when you touch the base of his tail with a toy, he'll trill. Come to think of it, I have a female kitten that every time you pass a laser pointer over her head (on the ceiling), she cackles like The Preditor. And these cats will do the same action EVERY time, over and over.

My guess is they were touching her foot, or scratching just the right spot to make her react that way. I'm not completely conviced that her voice wasn't altered to make it more high pitched, but it's possible that it's her real voice.

It was quite funny but it just looked a little stressful/discomforting, you know with its head back and eyes wide open. Im sure its fine though.

I know what you mean.. seemed cruel but i'm sure it wasn't!

It's getting a tickle thats why it's doing that. My guinea pigs used to do that when I tickled their tail. They use to bite their feet and purr and act all funny. They loved getting tickled. I think they have a gland there that gets itchy and brings sweet relief if you itch it for them

Its actually quite possible, I heard that you have to repeat it enough when they are kittens, and also a small treat wouldn't hurt. Remember if you want a cat to do something, he must have to want something, or have an incentive to do it.

By the way- Look beneath and you'll see a link that I posted, this link has a video that is a lot better than the one that you showed! (To be honest, lol)

That is for REAL. I have a cat who says Mama. She will meow Mama when she wants me to come upstairs at ten or eleven o'clock to go to bed, or when she feels threatened by our 12 or 13-year-old dog. I always say "Sueña, Mama loves you." she now says Mama, and she probably will for the rest of her life. I never trained my cat to do it, but she says Mama, and I laugh. I would tell my friends and family members that she says Mama, but they wouldn't believe me until she said it. They're in awe that she does this without my training her. That video clip is funny, and the cat probably saw one of its owners doing that over and over or it was trained to do that. I looked at that file that is for other talking cats, and I laughed my butt off!!! I was laughing so hard I had tears in my eyes. That is truely funny. I am going to see if I can train my cat to say Mama on command.
