So do Cats and Dogs in different countries communicate in different languages? (20)
The Maori dog was a small, low-set animal, very ugly in appearance. Although it had a poor sense of smell, it was of some use in hunting night-moving birds such as the kiwi and also ducks in the moulting season. The Frenchman Crozet, who was at the Bay of Islands in June 1772, noted that: “The dogs are a sort of domesticated fox, quite black or white, very low on the legs, straight ears, thick tail, long body, full jaws, but more pointed than those of the fox, and uttering the same cry; they do not bark like our dogs”.

I have a habit of talking to my dogs in Italian, such as 'vieni qua' for 'come here'...a bilingual dog.
Good question though, Wabbet. I know that bees speak different languages. Put German bees and French bees together and the hives are abuzz with mahem.

years ago i took my friends pedigree black lab for a walk that she had brought with her from Germany, and when i let him off the leash in the park i tried calling him but he didnt understand english, so i chased him until i caught him with the international known "Tackle".. he was a cool dog though...------ This thread is Archived ------

Fench cats: miaou
Spanish cats: miaaauuu
English cats: meow
So I reckon your cat must have had a bit of french in him
French dogs: oua oua
Spanish dogs: guau guau
English dogs: woof woof
My dog was the dog of an English lady before going to live with a Spanish guy and finally with me and my ex. He loved to be spoken to in English when he first arrived and would respond to orders in English more readily than in Spanish. He´s now mostly with my ex and has become fluent in Spanish
