I wonder whether your cat might evolve faster, if you invite more of your relatives to share your accomodations, rather than just your mom and nephew???

Imagine that:
A Talking cat with an overly nervous owner!!! -- a worthwhile trade off!!!

Well, my cat knows he's MY cat. He doesn't "talk" to my mom much, although he does go to her room and sleep on her bed and in her closet (he's such a perv. ). He waits outside the bathroom door when I'm in the shower, he has opened the door on me a few times, more often whe he was a kitten (Like I said, he's a perv. ). He waits for me to come home. If I'm gone for too long, he meows for me. He "greets" me whe I come home, and will wait on my bed. He only "asks" me to feed him. He spends most of the day in my room.

So, I'm not really sure he would work on being more "social" with others. He is very friendly towards others, he will let people he knows pet him, but he is shy at first and tends to stick around me when he's not too sure about someone.

Yeah, I know what you're talking about -- I grew up with a cat in the house (sometimes more than one)!

As a matter of fact, everything in this world vibrates at different frequencies and eminates a certain sound.. We simply don't perceive very high or very low pitches.
In a manner of speaking, everything "talks" to us... We simply don't comprehend -- let alone hearing those chorus conversations...
