Needed: words for "cat" in other languages

all know how intentions have little to do with reality where the
beasties are concerned.
Since my youngest two are named Mietze and Neko, I'd like to have a
list on hand of other non-English words for "kitty", "cat", etc., just
in case.
Thank you all!

In german, "cat" is "Katze" and "kitty" is probably something like
"Kaetzchen". What I really like is the french. In french it is "le chat" (
pronounced "ler shah"), but kitty is something like "minou". In spanish
"cat" is "el gato", but I don't know any more than that, sorry.

Actually the word for cat in Japanese is "neko." If you want to say
kitty or to be affectionate, say "neko-chan."
Cat in Arabic is difficult for English speakers. It's something like
"ghat." The "gh" is gutteral.

Minou means kitty in Cajun 'French,' anyway. (I have a cat who's
named Minou because he was rescued by a Cajun friend.) The closest my
French-English dictionary has is "Minet."
I didn't see the beginning of this thread, so this may be a repeat,
but cat in Russian is koshka, kitten is koshenka, and kitty is kiska.
Tomcat is, oddly enough, "koshka kot."

It's correct :) If you write it *exactly* as it is phonetically
written in Japanese, "arigatou" is the correct way. In hand writing,
many may write a bar-line above the "o" to indicate a long "o" sound
(well, not exactly, but that's the closest approximation in English).
But since many people automatically pronounce the "o" with a long "o"
sound anyway (as in the "o" in the word "tow"), for practical
purpose, wether to write "u" or not is pretty much optional in the
ascii world, it seems :)

Good News! Boston (the cat who had severe reaction to rabies & Felv

normal and he's eating well. He still has days when he's lethargic,
however, and the lump at the vaccination site is still 2+ inches
long (as of June 12 - haven't talked to his owner since then); the
vet said if it (lump) doesn't shrink within 3 weeks they may need to
surgically remove it.
Thanks to all who replied!

There is a nice apocryphal story about the town of Kuching in Borneo.
Apparently James Brooke landed near there, and saw a small village in
the distance. He pointed at it, and asked a local guy what it was
called.
The local saw a cat strolling along a few yards away, where Brooke was
pointing, and answered accordingly...
So the State Capital of Sarawak is named after our favourite animal.
Any other places named after cats?

The word for cat is "michi" and a little cat is a "michicha." Sometimes
it sounds a bit more like "minchi" which is fine too...
As an aside, in Quechua, the word for "tie up" is "watay" and so by odd
coincidence, when Quechua speakers would hear English speakers say,
"what time is it?" to each other they'd start laughing because it sounded
like "tie up the cat."

RE: "cat" in foreign languages
"Chat" in French (someone's probably mentioned this, but I wanted
a chance to say hello).
I have three cats. About a year ago, I went into one of the local
pet stores to buy some kitten food for my yet-to-be-purchased kittens.
I made the mistake of looking at their kittens. There were three in a
cage: a little grey and white girl with a "Phantom of the Opera" mask
on her face; a little black and white girl who looked like a 1920's
silent screen star, and a scrawny, ugly, little black and white boy
who the pet store clerk named "Charlie" because he looked like
Charlie Chaplin.
I made the next mistake, and picked the little screen star up. She
looked like Cleopatra, but my next door neighbor is Cleo, so that
name was out. My mother said, "She looks like Chloe".
Third mistake. I felt sorry for the little boy. If I didn't buy him,
he'd be so lonely, and he was so ugly no one would love him. He hissed
when I picked him up, then cuddled close and started purring, and
hissed when I put him down.
The next day, I went to the Humane Society, but didn't see any kitties
I liked as well as those three. So I bought them. I'd never had
cats before (except for the illegal ones in college), and I thought
that three cats couldn't be that much more difficult to take care of than
two cats.
So, Samantha (the "phantom"), Chloe, and Tramp (after the Little Tramp)
came to live with me. It didn't take too long to find out their
pidgeon detector had been working overtime. They know very well
who runs the household. Of course, they're exiled to the cat room, but
they don't seem to mind.
I would let them out of the cat room, but they like to eat weird things:
terry cloth, knit blankets, the throw rug, my lounging dress. Anyone
have any good ideas on how to break them of that?
So, greetings fellow cat lovers.
Nancy and the hairy terrorists (Samantha, Chloe, and Tramp)

An acquaintance of mine has a cat named Tora (don't know the spelling)

There's a fun screensaver called Neko which has cats running across the
