Pecuariam felis
I've been trying to work out MJs signature for a while...
"Pecuariam felis" Now, I've never learned any Latin (or any foreign language actually - not important for the edumacators of my schooling days! Though I have since taught myself some very very very very very basic German and Swedish - enough to know that our sentence structure is unecessarily bulky and back to front!), so had to take an electronic age approach - I used Google Translate! So that results in "cat herding". That didn't make a lot of sense... So I try a couple of (non Google) Latin translators and I get a couple of different answers, such as "animal husbandry" and "work position" - ah! Now we're getting somewhere... A general Google search suggests "pecuaria felis" instead - "agriculture recipes", hmm... No. Maybe individual translations will provide some insight: "Pecuariam" - "herding", we're back to that again! "felis" - "football", hmm this isn't getting us anywhere!! "Felis" is "cat", or at least it should be, so why has Google given me "football"?? The best I can find is that "pecuariam" is the feminine of "pecuarius" meaning "of cattle or sheep", but it's still not getting me anywhere! I'm reading a bit far into this for an exercise in curiosity, and I'm on the verge of signing up for a Latin course! I want it to mean "workaholic", or "feminine carriage builder" or something, but it's looking a lot like it means "cat lady"! So please Michaela, satisfy my curiosity!
