How to say 'Cat' in other languages!

Here at Paws & Claws we were so inspired by the Rio Olympics and loved seeing the world come together to celebrate staying active. In honour of all of the great countries that took part, we decided to share a few of our favourite ways to say Cat in other languages.


Chinese - 'miu' or 'mau'


Dutch - 'kat' or 'poes'
Ethiopian - 'domadh'
Finnish - 'kissa'
French - 'chat'

German - 'katti' 'katze' or 'ket'

Indian - 'biladi gujarati'
Italian - 'gatto'

Japanese - 'neko'


Pakistani - 'shimii'
Russian - 'kot'

Spanish - 'gato'
Turkish - 'kedi'

*There are too many countries to name them all, so we picked a variety!
