OK here we go with my question. I’ve posted this on conlang but I’m looking Romance language help too. Before I give the question I’ll give the background so that you can see what has spawned it. One of my cats, Daria, (the only one not spayed because I’ve run out of money) is in oestrus. If you never been around a cat in this condition consider yourself lucky. She’s not loud like some cats can be but the noise is just constant. One of my other cats, Pebbles, must have had enough because I have caught her with her mouth clamped on to Daria’s throat, all the while holding her with the front paws and then kicking the stuffing out of her with her rear paws. Daria meanwhile is oblivious to the whole affair, just continuing on with her gutteral sounds. At the moment, Daria is curled up on my desk beside the monitor sleeping… Anyway, I have found myslef just looking at her and saying, “Give it a rest…” or “Knock it off…” or “Leave off.” It has me wondering what a Pilovese person would say to the whole affair. Even in French, I’m not sure what one would say beyond, “Arrêt” or “Assez” as neither of them can convey the tone of being wearied or annoyed with the situation. I’d like to know how to convey this message to my cat in your conlangs and your L1, including regional type things. How do you convey this also in French, Spanish, Portuguese, etc? Thanks, Scotto [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
