Default Origin of the word "kitty"

From http://www.netpets.com/cats/referenc...athistory.html
"From the word utchat we get the vast majority of the Indo-European names
for the cat: cat, chat, cattus..."

However "kitty" is a Chinese word In fact, there is Moo-goo-gai-kitty with
fried rice!

Worse, s/he isn't even good enough to post recipes. At least diaper man
called us good enough names to set up a whole buffet.
