## About "cattle" in BIP39

- "cattle" has 6 letters, but the first four, **"catt"**, already identify it, because **"cat"** also begins [cat](/bip39-word/cat/), [catalog](/bip39-word/catalog/), [catch](/bip39-word/catch/) and [category](/bip39-word/category/).
- Its first letters also spell another BIP39 word, [cat](/bip39-word/cat/). Write "cattle" out in full: cut short, it turns into a different valid word.
