Summary

The chapter ’Cattitude and Purrception’ goes once more into the set-up of the research surveys and sets them in the context of sociolinguistic attitude and perception studies. The two surveys were designed to find out the reasons why people participate in cat-related digital spaces and what they think about the linguistic variations they encounter there. The interest of this chapter lies in how the answers of the respondents are analysed, categorised, and interpreted. Switching from the human identity to the cat identity online brings with it a switch in language variety, with the purrieties working as a recognisable indicator for identity.
