    So apparently the word "michi", local slang for cat, turned out to be a legit Quechua word. Since there were no cats around, when the Spanish came to America and brought cats, the Incas used to hear them say "mishi mishi" to call them, and thus they decided to call this new animal michi.

        @mushi Native language derivated from old Inca.

      @nerthos Why do I find it so adorable to imagine an ancient Incan petting a kitty and calling it "mishi mishi"?

        @clayinthecarpet I don't know, maybe because cats are the cutest?

        @clayinthecarpet　ya, with small pox on them from the spanish... or maybe they just got straight massacred... but at least they looked cute with the kittens while they weren't dying
