[Allegedly]

I read somewhere that the "average" cat can understand around 50 words. When I think about my two felines, I can only verify the following list:

-birdies

-din din (dinner)

-brekkie (breakfast)

-eat

-his/her own name

-the name of the other cat

-door

-treat

-skitter (toy)

Perhaps they understand more words, but I feel fairly certain with this list as when I say the word the cat makes a predictable response (e.g., if I say "treat" the cat runs to the cabinet where the treats are).
