"Kitty Kitty."

Though it depends on what part of the English speaking world you hail from. The 'tt' in 'Kitty' can be pronounced hard if pronounced correctly (with Received Pronunciation), or softly (like 'kiddy') or not at all but with a glottal stop instead (as heard in Estuarine English where Ts and Hs are dropped lef', righ' an' cen're!), or even with a slight break or pause before the 'tt' as spoken by English-speaking Welsh.
