mio
/ˈmjo/ · A2 · intj
meow (sound of a cat)
🐱 mio sounds like me-yo: a cat saying meow with the w chopped off
Spanish cats say mio (also miau), one quick syllable: MYO. It is onomatopoeia, just like English meow. Bonus hook: mío also means mine in Spanish, and a cat demanding food is basically shouting mine!
