Well, my own tom is called "Tixaw", which is the NGL word for cat.  I lik=
e
how it sounds, but most times I just call him /!.!"!/.

The cat I had previously (well, who was born and grew up in my home) was
called "Chiquitol=EDn"... but nobody knew him that way at home.  I myself
called him "Mincho" or simply /minS/.  My syster called him "minino", jus=
t
as she still calls Tixaw.

Know that I think about it, I begun to dislike the Chleweyish word for ca=
t:
"wambo".  I would thing that for my personal language cats sould have a
better word... still thinking.

Hangkerimians just call cats as KA^DO~ which is definitively a Spanish
borrowing.

So, what name I suggest to your new cat... T=EDyau, /!.!"!/, Minsh, Wambo=
 or
K=E1doo (pronounce both <o> but stress the <a>), I just don't know how to
alphabetize /!.!"!/.
