    japanese grammer help if anyone speaks it

    how would one use the word damn as a state of being for an object? like in english we would say "damned cat" would you use the partical no then the object like "bachiatari no neko"? or would you need desu in there somewheres like "bachiatari neko des"? or a combination or something completly different? i dont want to say "that cat is damned" but rather that in a phrase of frustration. like in english we wouldnt yell "that cat is damned" if it scratched you, youd simply say "damned cat".

    Okay, it's been a year since I've used my Japanese, so I'm more than rusty, but the grammar is such that "damned cat" wouldn't translate. It's just not how they structure sentences...you would say "the cat is damned".

    There's probably a slang way that I'm not familiar with of saying it, but "[japanese word for damn] neko desu" would be the gramatically correct sentence if I'm remembering right.
