    Ok. For the girl being a russian (or at least Slavic) speaker and learning English, I can’t for the life of me imagine how she could have mixed up cat and dog. Which she didn’t, she knew the difference. But oop shortly thought about correcting her. And comment op said, it was plausible.

    I see no way how that would be plausible. Girl is speaking in a broken way, but she is speaking, not having loose vocab here and there. Cat and dog are one of the first words to learn typically. I don’t know why, it just seems that way.

    Also cat in russian is koshka, making it very easy to remember (same starting sound and they just feel similar).

    So really, I see no way how someone who is already speaking a language (brokenly) would honestly mix up cat and dog. Mixing up refrigerator and laundromat - fine, I’ll believe it, but not those two.
