Want to impress your Russian-speaking friends or just sound cool? Learning how to say 'cat' in Russian is a fantastic place to start! The word you're looking for is **кошка** (koshka) for a female cat and **кот** (kot) for a male cat.
But it's not just about pronunciation! The pronunciation of 'кошка' is roughly 'kosh-ka' and 'кот' is 'kot'. Keep the 'o' sound short and sweet.
Beyond the basics, you can also use diminutives to express affection! For a cute little kitty, try 'кошечка' (koshechka) – think of it as the Russian equivalent of 'kitty' or 'pussycat'.
So, next time you see a feline friend, confidently greet them with 'Привет, кошка/кот!' (Privet, koshka/kot!) - 'Hello, cat!'. You'll be speaking Russian like a pro in no time!
