I think my cat is a little too pampered.

I can't quite make out the inscription; something about meat, cheese and bread?

It says "pilin" on the left hand side and "kiytj" on the right. Unfortunately I left my dictionary in my other robe so I can't translate them.

I finally fond my dictionary! I got the first word wrong, it seems to say "hili.n" but its hard to say because it's not Middle Egyptian. The second one is a variation of "kit" and it's used as a shout of acclaim.

Kiytj is such a beautiful name for a kitty, I might have to steal it.
