The spelling of the word "Cathee" is a bit unconventional, but it can be explained using phonetic transcription. The first syllable "cat" is pronounced as /kæt/, which is a common English word for a domestic animal. The second syllable "hee" is pronounced as /hi/, which is similar to the word "he" but with an elongated "ee" sound. When combined, "Cathee" is pronounced as /kæt-hi/. While this spelling may not follow traditional English conventions, it can still be pronounced correctly using phonetic transcription.
