Title: German Translation needed...
Post by: Nefarious on January 12, 2015, 09:41:53 AM: Working on something, wanting to make sure it's correct.

Flieger Kat - is that correct? Aviator/pilot cat? Should it be Flieger Katze? Or am i totally wrong here...

Yes like a Feline, literally a pilot cat or cat flyer/pilot/aviator etc

Then I'd go with Fliegerkatze (Katzenpilot would also work, but Fliegerkatze sounds much better)

He's going to earn money off youtube throwing cats off 10 story buildings and filming it probably :devil

Post by: Bizman on January 12, 2015, 12:42:29 PM: If you'd like your cat pilots be definitely masculine, Fliegerkater might be the way to go. Something like the Stray Cats' logo. But it might wreak havoc in this unisex world we live in. Since E. Lillian Todd, Therese Peltier, Blanche Stuart Scott and Raymonde de Laroche women haven't been wanting to stay away from the aviational fun.
