This is culturally insensitive, too, so you really might just want to skip on ahead. . . but do you know how fun it is to say "Mao"?

It can be said the way Catherine's cat said it before we left. It can be deep and vibrato, like banging a gong. It can be sung Sha Na Na-like: "M, m, m, mao mao mao." It can be said contemplatively, as an "Om." And, our favorite: "How now, brown Mao!"
