Translating from cat language into Lojban

[gleki]

Just a short picture explaining what your cat is trying to tell you if you can't speak both English and cat language.

I think all of them could be attitudinals and vocatives:

I am irritated: o'onairu'e
I am friendly: re'i? {mi tavla bredi} is a verbose way to say {re'i}
I am crazy about you: u'ecai
I am concerned: a'u?

So what do you think about my versions ?

concerned        a'e

friendly             i'i re'i o'e ju'icu'i ro'a

anger               u'o o'onai uunai vi'onai

Can you choose the best variant ?

I tink it's OK

I don't know really...

{o'onai}, I think. u'o is courage, uunai is cruelty, vi'onai is
refusal - none of them is really connected to anger.

Do you really think that "being irritated" and "being angry" differ only in magnitude ? 

I'm just looking at the pictures of the cat.

Being angry is being aggressive

Being irritated is feeling uncomfortable.

By the way, guskant jacfold suggested changing {.ui do} to {doi .ui}. What is your opinion ?

Yes, I do.

I don't think so. Being aggresive is biting and scratching. Anger may
lead to aggresion, but doesn't have to. Irritation may also lead to
aggresion.

> Being irritated is feeling uncomfortable.

I think it's more impatience, and it fit's on the o'o - o'onai scale.

I think that if "I am happy to see you" is a greeting, it could be
{coi ui}, otherwise {doi ui}.
