My grand mother was from Dingle, and my mum learned this word from her and we always used it when talking to our cat, although it became slightly anglacised by then to 'pushkin'. My gran was of a generation where they were scolded for speaking in Irish so lost a lot of her fluency. So much so that when she decided on a career change to be a primary school teacher, my uncle had to coach her to pass the irish exam!
This is perfect! I foster cats and kittens (all of which are given traditional Irish names 😊) and I’ve wondered how to say most of these things! Thank you 🎉
Or as the internet says, “pusheen”. That’s right, the ultra classic emoji cat that you’ve seen everywhere online was named for the Irish for Kitten. 😉 Google: pusheen name
Agus cad mar gheall ar Briseann an Dúchas Trí Shúilibh an Chait!. Anois tá mo Chat ag meamhlach chun dul amach. Ach anseo tá an teocht thart ar 36 C - i bhfad ró-the di agus a cóta fionnaidh. Isolda is ainm di. ((Tá mé in Iardheisceart na Fraince)
Not to be confused with potcheen
