miau /mɪˈaʊ̯/

kids that are yet to learn to speak properly often say "miau"/"auau" to refer to cats/dogs, because that is the sound they make

mimi - no IPA

it's so cute? I assume it's a diminutive of 'minou' which already is a different word for 'cat' or 'kitty'. also the french version of 'pspsps' is 'mimimi', so it might come from this too :)

Long and cute !

both parts already mean ""cat"" on their own, the repetition is added for maximum kittycat cuteness. also insanely fun to say

小猫 (xiǎo māo) /ɕjau̯˩ mɑu̯˥/

it rhymes and means little meow. what is a kitten if not a little meow

Perfect way to describe a cat. It rhymes and it sounds really cute. Also cmon look at a cat. That IS a xiao mao mao

you cannot tell me they are not the perfect word for a kitty cat. they came up to us and introduced themselves, so we decided to call them by the name they call themselves, and in mandarin, we call them ""little māo"" because they are our little meow meows!! they are our babies!! also chinese is Ancient. our writing system goes back like 4000 years!! and we are still using it! i admit we probably weren't calling them 貓 for all these 4000 years but respect your elders! /lh

kissa /ˈkisːɑ/

it is very cute. very cute!

I want to give every kissa a kiss on the forehead :)

It sounds very nice, and kind of friendly, in a way.

Because a common mis-spelling of kissa is kisa, which means competition and this is a competition and kissa should win

It sounds like kiss, and I love giving kittens kisses

it sounds like both ""hiss"" and ""kiss"" and cats hiss and i want to give them a little kiss on the head. plus finnish is a fun language and people don't know that much about it
