You and me and apostrophe

Look. It's not 'Cats. It's Cats.

Cats is short for Wildcats, yes. But it's not a contraction. People don't call me Josh'. And they don't call you T'om'.

If you want to call them them the Wi'cats, that'll be OK. It'll be punishable by 3-5 years in prison and/or a fine of not less than $4,000 and not more than $9,000. But it will be OK grammatically.

Cats. Think about it.
