I need a cat translation!

My cat was after some small flying beetle-like insect that flew onto my monitor screen and just typed the following into an e-mail I was composing: "klll,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,kkkkkkkkkkkkjhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh55kjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj"

I'm guessing the first four letters signify her intent to kill it, but I'm not very fluent in the nuances of the written word in Cat. Anybody willing to interpret it?

1. You got it right

Following the commas is the ancient tribal cat call. It's sort of like they are drawing in all their energy to aid them in the dispensement of their prey.

4. AH! And since the comma represents a "pause"

It is the sign of "paws"? This is intriguing!

6. lol

Right again. You got this stuff worked out. In layman's terms what your cat is saying is, "I'm going to kick me some winged beetle bug's ass!"

2. Looks like the cat said:

Kill kjaahfivekj.

Do you know another cat named kjaahfivekj?

3. Your cat was "mesmerizing" the critter, prior to chomping it..

Mine all "cackle" to the birdies and occasional ant or fly that wanders inside:)

5. We call it "acking"

Perhaps the k's are shorthand. :-)
