    Don't they make noises if you take them out of the water, or am I thinking of another catfish ?

    I have no idea, they are called cuckoo cats b/c they eat cichlids eggs and replace them with their own for the cichlids to raise and care for haha.

    There are a few species of talking cats (which can make clicking sounds underwater too) I don't think they do though. Raphael cats can, and most others of the family Doradidae can too.
