my half german cousin's german boyfriend's family has a huge ginger cat. in english i call it "little lion" (it's not his name but i found it cute) but i wanna call "little/small lion" in german too! i researched what löwchen means and apparently it's a dog breed... so should i call the cat Löwenchen or Löwchen or should i just give up this small little stupid idea of mine?
