    The котэ is internet slang for кот (as пёс for пёсэ). Somehow котэ, пёсэ (whichever animal + э ending) is supposed to be funny. However, as I said, it's internet slang and is not normally used in daily conversations and never (at least as far as I know) in literature.
    I do not claim that my opinion is absolutely true.
    If you've spotted any mistake in my English, please, correct it. I want to be aware of any mistakes to efficiently eliminate them before they become a habit.

    Thank you very much for your quick response!
    One more question, though: is there any difference in the pronunciation of these two forms? I mean, the э at the end of the word is pronounceable?
