they are pretty retarded at mimicry but they can do it when it suits them
so idk maybe they are good at it actually
that same cat that was tweakin my nerves he also one time spoke my name, obviously like a human with a messed up mouth/throat somewhere, they don't do glottal stops very well, it's more of a arabic style silence
i'm sure it's just a coincidence that female cats mating call sounds like a crying baby tho... i mean, when you really listen close to it the difference is pretty easy to tell but when you never heard it before the resemblance is like hearing someone speak a word from your language even though if you knew their language you'd know it wasn't that word
