The problem with this is, of course, that this assumes a pronunciation like “mew”, that is, [mju]; however, the proper Greek pronunciation has been [mu] in early Greek, [my] in classical Greek, and [mi] in modern Greek, all of which I don’t really see a cat saying.
It is cute though.
@Melvar: I guess you don't live with cats, then. Mine has made all of those sounds on occasion, with the possible exception of "My".
Then again, maybe mine is just precocious that way. :)

yup that's very true, but even if the kittens were saying "alpha" i would still post it (though it would be a heck of a lot more confusing ^_^)
