Catgirl world where all the cities are puns

- Californya

- Katwijk (that's a town in the Netherlands, it literally translates to "Cat District" so I didn't even need to change anything)

That's all I got but you can really see the potential here

my cats stole food while i was at work which is bad but they also put it in their bowls which is really really adorable

english may be my first language but i think spanish is my favorite for its phonetics (in spanish you can read a word and fucking pronounce it!! in english words like colonel exist), the fun of rolling ur r’s (yes a lot of languages do it spanish is more fun tho), the existence of the “-ito” and “-ita” suffixes (literally perfect), and the fantastic fucking animal names. gato. tortuga. pájaro. abeja. un fucking paralleled

Imagine using a spanish translating site to understand a cat meme... couldn't be me...

Anyways, on a completely unrelated note, here's a funny cat meme "en español":

Me: *doesn't want children*

Also me: *taking care of my cat*

Literal translation:

Me: not wanting/wishing to have/keep/make

children/kids, however here I am taking care/looking after/tending

my cat/kitty/kitten

My grandparents neighbor has kittens and I can use my powers to convince my parents to let me have one. If i get the orange one, what do I name it??

tumblr is very fond of el Gato

it’s very fun to say and also puss in boots 2 got really big on this website so y’know. feels appropriate. this is the gato website now babeyyyyy!!!

Bc its the best possible way of saying "cat"

Because it sounds a lot like gâteau, the French word for cake and that's funny

Perfectly encapsulates cat-ness. Un gato perfecto.

Porque el gato está debajo de la mesa (because the cat is under the table)

I'm polish but me and my friends love to call cats this just because it sounds fun. And I feel like it encapsulates the essence of a cat so well. Like I will look at a cat and be like fuck that sure is a gato!!!!

cat el gato, la gata

Does your cat also wait at the gate until you’re home?

When the cat’s away, the mice will play. Cuando el gato no está, los ratones juegan.

Been talking to my roommate's cats in Spanish exclusively. I don't know much Spanish but I still think that they deserve to be exposed to other cultures, this way they can seek asylum in Barcelona when things start to go south. Also whoever invented Spanish was absolutely right, that creature sure is a Gato, keep on cooking 🔥🔥🔥.
