Cat 'speaks Chinese'
A Chinese grandmother claims her cat can talk.
Granny Lv, 70, of Changchun city, says Mimi has become a local celebrity because he can speak Chinese.
She said: "I was playing mahjong with friends at home, and suddenly I heard someone call me 'Laolao' (Grandma).
"My first thought was that it was my granddaughter, but she was not at home."
Lv then realised her pet had made the sound, reports City Evening News.
"It may be because my granddaughter calls me Laolao all day long, and Mimi learnt it after hearing it so many times," she said, adding that Mimi had since expanded her vocabulary.
"When he wakes up and sees nobody around, he'll say, 'ren ne?' (where is everyone?). When we're playing mahjong, he'll come over and say, 'gan sha ne?' (what are you doing?)."
Neighbour Mrs Wang say Mimi's pronunciation is very clear, but "he sounds like a little girl, although he is a boy".
