/ in German, kat /kat/ in Dutch and katt /kat/ in Swedish, it becomes kat /kat/ in Germian.

When words in the Germanic languages have differences that don't interact well, or when one just has an idea of an interesting sounding variation of the word, then creative liberty can be pursued e.g. compare Germian's "piiron" (pear) with English's "pear", German's "birne", Dutch's "peer" and Swedish's "päron".
