    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
