Hey! It's difficult to understant exactly what you want to say. I'm not even sure if it's supposed to be a question! :/ I hope I'll give you a clear answer though.
"Have people thought my cat was one of them?" (people thinking your cat was one of them, a person) in Greek is "Νόμιζαν (αυτοί / οι άνθρωποι) ότι η γάτα μου ήταν μία από αυτούς;" = "NOmizan aftI (capital i) oti i gAta (not g but more like a y sound - as in Yuta; actually replace the u with an a and you have the proper pronounciation of "cat" in Greek!) mou Itan (capital i) mia apo aftOUs?"
If it's not supposed to be a question, and you say it like this: "Have people thought my cat was one of them!" (as in OMG how many people have thought my cat was one of them in the past, it's ridiculous!)
You can translate that in two different ways (none of which is the exact translation word-to-word)
1)Αν έχουν πιστέψει ότι η γάτα μου ήταν μία από αυτούς λέει! (this way is a more 'informal' way to say something, especially with the "λέει" at the end) = "An Ehoun pistEpsi (think of Pepsi :P) oti i gata mou itan mia apo aftous lEei (that's an L at the start)!"
2)Πολλοί έχουν πιστέψει ότι η γάτα μου ήταν μία από αυτούς. ( a more 'formal' way, not using 'slang'; the exact translation of this sentence in English is "Many have believed my cat was one of them") = POLLi (accent on the last letter; thought it'd clear any confussion if I wrote the word in capitals and the accented letter in small) Ehoun pistepsi oti i gata mou itan mia apo aftous".
Hope my romanization helped a bit with your pronounciation and reading of the words! I'll be checking out the Greek section a lot so if you have a follow-up question I might be able to answer that one, as well! :)
