貓

3 candidate readings from Wiktionary — genuine Chaozhou colloquial form not yet confirmed by a speaker. Dropped mao1 — in the dossier it is attested only for other, non-'cat' senses of this headword (Mandarin-colloquial 'to bend', Mainland-China-colloquial 'modem', Hokkien 'wildcat/vicious woman'), not for the core cat sense drafted here.
