Default What's with the phonetic kitty talk?

Rec.pets.cats.community has used meowchat for as long as I remember.
I'm not all that fond of it either, but tend to lurk here anyway.
There are other rec.pets.cats groups too. For example if it's health
issues you want to look into, check out rec.pets.cats.health+behav.


You know what? I think the health+behavior group is the one I've used in
the past. I think I'll go there. Aside from its being more geared toward
the advice I'm seeking, I can't stomach this so-called meowchat.
Ridiculous. It's exactly the sort of foolishness that gives cat owners a
bad name. Thanks, Christine.

BTW, I used to date a Fin. She and her sisters were born there, but grew up
here in the states. They all had Finnish names that were a bit of a
challenge for my American tongue. Her parents' names were really tough, but
I have to admit, I did a pretty good job with them. In fact, the first time
I met her younger sister, the sister remarked on how well I pronounced my
girlfriend's name. (Most people didn't do too well.)

Thanks, again.
