    Did you get it?)
    I got it, and it was also a good reminder for me that кот/кошка take the pronoun "кто" (not "что"), because they are одушевлённые ("animate")!

    It's good then, cause some friends of mine which are Russian native speakers didn't get it till I explained it to them).

    Как Вам этот анекдот?)
    На филфаке идет лекция по языкознанию. Преподаватель самозабвенно вещает:

    – Есть языки, в которых два утверждения подряд означают отрицание. Есть языки, в которых отрицание и утверждение, поставленные рядом, означают отрицание, а есть языки, в которых та же самая комбинация означает утверждение. Но нет такого языка, в котором двойное утверждение обозначало бы отрицание!

    Голос студента с задней парты:

    – Ну да, конечно!
