There are only seven kinds of animal, just fyi. My toddler has compiled a handy taxonomy:
“Kitties”, self-explanatory, however this also includes anything smaller than a cow which is not readily identifiable, and is not a—
“Pup”, a recent addition (thanks hop on pop), anything which is obviously a dog, although anything not obviously a dog is a kitty.
“Cow”, anything you would find in a barnyard is a cow. Goats, horses, Eeyore. Poor Eeyore. She knows Pooh and Tigger and Rabbit, and “Cow”.
“Birdies”, this kid is very good at identifying birdies, and also windows, the portal through which one sees the most birdies, which are naturally also called birdies.
“Owls”, we don’t know why she knows how to identify owls, specifically. Some sort of strange baby power.
“Bears”, which is good, it’s important to be able to say “omg there’s a fucking bear” so you can run away or play dead or whatever one does when one sees a bear. Also includes the teddy variety.
“Howms”, which are, thanks to an affinity for Big Cat Rescue and the fact that she likes to watch tiger videos, any and all big cats. They are named after her stuffed tiger, who was named with the word she used to use when she meant “meow”, back when she thought he was a “kitty”. Cheetah? Howm. Leopard? Howm. Lion? Howm. Seahorses? For some reason also Howm. They’re all Howms.
