Cat Language

This is a little just for fun program that I made that encodes English and Russian text into so-called Cat Language.

Example:

meooow meow, mew meew, mow meow, purr mow, mew meoooow, purrr, mew meew, mow meow, purr, purrr, mew meoooow, purr mow, mow, meow, mew meoooow, mew shhhh, purr mow, meoow, mew meew, mew meoow, purrr meooow, mew meoooow, purr mow, purrr, meow, mow mew, meew, purr mow, mew meoooow, purrr, meew, shhhh, mew purrr, purr mow, mew shhhh, mew meooow, mew meew, mew meow, meew, mew meoow, purr mow, mew mew, meow, mew meoow, purr, mow meow, meow, purr, meew, purr meooow, purr mow, meooow meow, mew meew, mow meow, purrr meooow, mew purrr, meew, purr mow, mow mow, mew purrr, mew meew, mew meoow, purr, purr meoow, purr mow

You thought cats don't have their spoken language? You're wrong.

What is Cat Language anyway?

Cat Language is a fictional language that only consists of the words meow, purr, shh and mew (all of them are cat sounds). It is not real, it is a joke language and it was made just to entertain the author of this program.
