"Where is the cat?"
Translation:Де кіт?

I apologise if I am a slow learner, but from the whole lesson I don't understand where the answer "De tsya kishka?" was taught to us, I believe I saw "tsya" somewhere on a different question, but I don't recall "cat" being written as "kishka".
«Ця» /tsya is 'this' (well, a variant of 'this' used with feminine nouns, and «кішка» /kishka is a feminine noun).
I do not know why Duolingo is using"кішка", a Russian word for "cat" when in Ukrainian, "кіт" is a male cat, and a "кітка" or "киця" refers to a female cat.
Duolingo, PLEASE Fix this!! >:(
«Кішка» is the most common word for 'female cat' in Ukraine. «Кіт», «кітка» and «киця» should also be accepted in this sentence.
N.B. Russian word for 'female cat' is «кошка», not «кішка».
And the Ukranian word "кішка" is pretty simillar to a Russian word "кишка" that means "intestine". My life has changed forever.
