gato → gâteau, a cat made of cake

voted on this one. GA-to is close enough to gâteau for me and a cat made of cake is hard to forget

same. most english speakers say ga-TOE though so it's a near miss. still works

near misses are fine I think, the picture does the heavy lifting

i like it when the image is a surprise. it makes me remember. the teal background means masculine right? for el gato. sometimes i forget the gender.

Yeah, teal means masculine, for el. It's on the facts list. This gâteau thing is wild, usually my made-up sound-alikes are way worse. Gonna need to remember how to ask for a "cat" in December without accidentally asking for a "gateau.
