cats in america say “meow”
cats in japan say “nya”
cats in my house say “I AM A VESSEL OF SATAN. SERVE ME HUMAN FLESH OR FACE ETERNAL TORMENT. 666.”

funny how that works

I’m genuinely confused

like if you go step by step sure but that feels like saying “apple” is pronounced similarly to “street” because you can get there in X many steps

katze in america says “Hi internet strangers, I have a real life name but you guys can call me “katze”. It’s actually the german word for cat, haha. It’s pronounced “kat-zuh”, for the record, and it’s a name i really just like using. Whenever I need to choose a profile picture, I choose a cat of course. I’m a kitty cat! I love randomly saying “meow”, or saying things like “meowch” instead of “ouch”, or “right meow” instead of “right now”. Did you guys know that before I actually spoke in forum of lies voice calls, i’d just randomly meow. How quirky! But there’s one thing to remember. IM NOT A FURRY!!!”

I got a little time so I gotta respond.

Orange, it’s 7am, I got school at 8am, I got a little thing to do called getting ready

katze in japan says 「こんにちはインターネットの見知らぬ人、私は実際の名前を持っていますが、皆さんは私を「カッツェ」と呼ぶことができます。実はドイツ語で猫を意味します、ハハ。記録のために「kat-zuh」と発音され、私が本当に使用するのが好きな名前です。プロフィール写真を選ぶ必要があるときはいつでも、もちろん猫を選びます。私は子猫です!私はランダムに「ニャー」と言ったり、「痛い」の代わりに「ニャー」と言ったり、「今」の代わりに「ニャー」と言ったりするのが大好きです。私が実際に嘘の音声通話のフォーラムで話す前に、私はただランダムにニャーと鳴くのを知っていましたか。なんて風変わりなんだ!ただし、覚えておくべきことが1つあります。私は毛皮ではありません!!!」

cats don’t make sounds that can be reproduced with human vocal cords
so humans when transcribing the sounds make choices and convetions that they think best represents those sounds
for cats, this usually involves a nasal followed by a front vowel shifting from closed to open (and possibly ending by rounding the lips)
