How do you say "cat" in Gaelic? In case it matters, I plan to use the word when my wife's cat won't get out from underfoot or scratches things in the house that he shouldn't be scratching. For example, "MOVE, cat!", or, "Quit that, cat!"
For what it's worth, "dog" in Russian is "sabaka".

Cat
Hi Piperdbh,
Gluais = move
Cat = (are ya ready for this....?? ) = Cat
so
Gluais Cat! = Move Cat!!
or
Sin Falbh!! = Quit that!
Hope this helps,
Eric

OK here is my best shot: Gluais = Glue - eyes
Sin Falbh = Shin Fallv
