GATTESE, CHATOIS, GATÉS, KOSHK

The Italian, French, Spanish, and Russian words meaning the language spoken by cats. Example: I passed a cat sanctuary in Rome one day and noticed the funny accents being meowed from one mangy cat to another. It was then that I realized these Roman cats were speaking gattese. In the feline world, the cats who are generally considered the snobbiest and rudest of all are those who speak chatois. Ryan's cat Bob is cramming lessons in gatés because the new next door neighbors are Mexican immigrants whose two cats, María-Josefina and Carlita, are long-haired hotties. Masha is from Moscow. Masha is a cat. Masha speaks koshkii. Masha likes borscht.
