Who said cats don't understand English

I was living in a small unit in Belgrave Heights with my three Siamese cats. I had two bowls of water for the cats, one in the kitchen near the fridge and one in the bathroom.

My parents came to visit and my Mother whilst attempting to get something out of the fridge knocked the bowl of water over on the floor. I had mopped the water up but the empty bowl was still on the floor. Teko my eldest seal point siamese came into the kitchen . Before he had even attempted to make his way to the bowl I said, "Teko there is no water in that bowl you will have to go to the bathroom". He promptly turned around and walked out.

My Mother went to see where he had gone and came back with a surprised look on her face. She told me that Teko had walked straight into the bathroom and drank out of the full bowl.

Sparky is the same. I show her a poster and she acts like she is reading it.

Yes, sometimes it just seems like they do understand, when we speak to them. I've read, cats are only verble with humans as they know we communicate with them this way. Yet, a mother cat mews to her kittens. Anyone know about this?
