Our neighbor’s cat visited us a lot and then decided she lived with us instead. We called her Meows since we didn’t know her name. Eventually talked to the neighbors and learned they named her Zoe. We didn’t like that name for her so call her Meows.
Reminds me of my uncle’s cat who he named “guero” (affectionate name for blonde in Spanish, cause he is a lil light orange boy), but then they found out his name was Barry, and seriously who names their cat Barry? The same neighbours that abandoned him, likely.
Orange. That tracks.
My sisters cat is named Mr Meow Meow, he was named by twin 4 year olds.
Yes, that is that cat’s real name in his native language. His human “room mate” doesnt force him to use a silly slave name like mittens or whiskers.
I named a cat “Meower” when I was 6.
A Cantonese-speaking friend told me that this is the legit translation for cat.
