      The funny part is we decided to pronounce “chat” in perfect english, but the remaining letters will stay french no matter what.

        not really, because chatte doesn’t have the t in front of the ch sound, so it’s \ʃat\ (shat) instead of \tʃat\ (chat)

        What part indicates that it means female cat? You can use chatte for that but it also means pussy so probably don’t.
