Download the app for free German vocabulary testMieze is the affectionate word for a cat, built on the call miez-miez the way English moggy sits beside puss-puss. It is warm and slightly childish, and it is the word you use on the animal itself.
It also has a second life as slang for a young woman, in which use it is dated and condescending rather than crude — closer to English bird than to anything stronger. German has no equivalent of the English slide from cat to obscenity.
Katze cat
The neutral word, and feminine even for a male cat unless you say Kater.
Kater tomcat — and hangover
Two meanings under one word, and the second is the one you meet more often on a Sunday.
Kätzchen kitten
The regular diminutive. Mieze is a separate word, not a form of Katze.
