The word for 'cat' in Modern Greek can be either γάτα (gata) or γάτος (gatos). The word γάτα is feminine and therefore for female cats, while γάτος should be used to refer to male cats. Stress or emphasis should be placed on the first 'a' in both words.

The word αἴλουρος (ailouros) means 'cat' in Ancient Greek, but is both feminine and masculine.

The word originates from the Latin (cattus), so it has no Greek meaning.
