Hmm, I can't see any point to using sentences but the exclamation mark makes sense. If the cat is going to understand you need to use tone of voice. Just yell their name in an angry tone. Not that I have great experience getting cats to do anything. Well, my last cat would always come when called. Other than that she'd do whatever she pleased. We thought we had her pretty well trained not to get on the kitchen table but hours before she died she made one last foray onto the table. -- Dan Espen

I'm not so sure about that, but don't forget that indirect discourse
in German uses the subjunctive or the (now, I suppose, obsolete)
matter of addressing superiors in the third person.

Not {sS}ie. "Habet er die Gute...." 3rd person subjunctive,
lit. "Would he have the kindness [to]....", addressed to nobility,
meaning "Would you have the kindness [to]...." AFAIK, obsolete usage
since German titles and nobility ceased to have social
significance.
I'm not an authority on German usage, just milk-sieve memory: milk and
cream pass through, straws, bits of cow manure and dead flies
retained. :-)

Interesting. Perhaps related to how Swedish, in the old days, used to go
through all sorts of contortions to avoid using personal pronouns to
superiors at all. "Would the Colonel like another cup of coffee?"

By avoiding "you". :-)
Using "you" it might be otherwise:
"Would you [the Colonel] like another cup of coffee?"
Or addressing a friend:
"Would you [the friend] like another cup of coffee?"
"You" is used in both cases in the English language.
German (and French and probably other languages) would use:
"Möchten Sie [Colonel]..." (formal)
and
"Möchtest Du [friend]..." (informal).
In English it's in either case "Would you...". Only you.

Some years back, I had a German friend visit me in Stockholm. He needed
some cash, so he went to an ATM at the train station and of course
picked the German language option. He was rather taken aback when the
machine used "Du" and "dein". I assume the translation was done by a
Swede used to using "du" for everyone.

No, I think it's 2nd person plural subjunctive, used in this archaic
context either with singular pronoun "er" (the specific line I
remember reading somewhere) or with plural pronoun "ihr". Unsure
about capitalization of the pronoun in either case.
Pushing both my limited knowledge and my very modest library [1] to
or beyond their respective limits.

You're right. Remembering a joke: "Genitiv ins Wasser!" "Warum, ist es Dativ?" Play with words only works in German. > "Das Auto gehort der Mann", back to self-drive car subject? > > > "Das Auto gehort der Mann", back to self-drive car subject? > > "Das Auto gehort der Police", more likely It's "gehört" (or if no Umlaut key available, "gehoert". "Gehort" is no German word. Btw. "Police" is "Polizei" in German. And apropos Polizei. Italian (and that I find interesting) Euro dance at Mo-Do did a song in 1994 called "Eins, zwei Polizei". If you (in North America) wonder what Euro trash pop you missed in the 1990s, there is a good point to start. :-D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnphuffsCiY -- Andreas PGP fingerprint 952B0A9F12C2FD6C9F7E68DAA9C2EA89D1A370E0

I should had translated it. Genitive and dative has no "e" at the end, but as English often swallows vowels at the end of a word, they sound pretty much the same. And "tiv" is also pronounced like "tief" in German, which means "deep". So "Genitiv ins Wasser!" could be written as "Geh nie tief in Wasser", which translates to "Never go deep into the water. "Warum, ist es Dativ?" That could be written as "Warum, ist es da tief?", which translates "Why, is it deep there?". -- Andreas

I have inherited my mother's German text books from the 1930s decade, and not only as obscure as the above, but printed with a stylised typeface with many strange characters! But it is enough for me to have done French and Latin at school (Nailsea Grammar 1962-1969), some Japanese 22 years ago whilst subcontracting at NEC, and now deeply imbrangled in a Welsh course having recently inherited my father's library of Welsh books. :-)
