TLDR; only Philly people would get it. Also copied from my own personal FB.

So my Poppy isn’t from Philly. Wanna know how I know?
I asked her if she was thirsty. Maybe she wanted more to drink.
I said,
“Poppy you want some water? Come drink some water.” And she just looked at me.
If you’re not from Philly, you wouldn’t know you have been pronouncing the word water wrong all your life. Philadelphians will be on you to correct you for your pronunciation *real quick*. Wah-ter? What’s that ish? It’s WOODER. Always has been, always will be.
Apparently over the last year I have had her, I never asked her a question about water and expected an answer or an acknowledgment. But no. Poppy is a WAH-ter cat. I repeated the phrase a few more times, using it incorrectly, and she finally got up and drank some water.
How do I untrain my cat from that word. She needs to know the real word. Not some made up ish.
This jawn needs to be retaught, real quick. Wahter. 🙄🙄🤨🤬 Not in my house.

Also please check previous posts for links and ways to donate to help Poppy with her treatment after her tests. Her transfusion went wrong, then her biopsy went wrong, we got back the FeLV test from the bone marrow today and that’s negative, but I don’t know if that’s good or bad. Good because it’s a bad diagnosis, but bad because it’s eliminating an illness we could have worked with.
Angry bebe unPhilly jawn.
