Deztinee (Dezi) Speak
Dezi speaks coyly with the accent of a true Southern Belle. She has a high pitched almost whispery voice that can get loud and animated when called for. She can be a bit shy altho’ she loves to be the center of attention.

- UTB/UDB = Under the Bed
- In’ = ING (southern speak)
- ( ‘ ) followed by a word or following a word = shortened version (‘puter/putew = computer, altho’ = although)

OMD there is a lot to learn about regional accents of kitties! My brother Hazuzu was born with no voice – he cannot purr, meow, hiss or make any of the sounds that other cats make. However, he makes up fur it with his grrreat pawsonality.
