We have an incredibly verbal cat. He will respond to his name. He will announce himself in every single room he enters. He will continue to announce himself until he is acknowledged.

I wish I knew teaching a cat to speak was forbidden knowledge. She wakes me up at night just to let me know she claimed 80% of the bed, or the bottom of the bowl is visible.

Saying hi while passing each other is pretty cool though.

mine does this non-verbally; he'll wait at the entrance to a room and wait for you to acknowledge him either through eye contact or voice and then; and only then; he'll enter the room and usually with a tiny squeak of approval.
