The Japanese Kanji “猫(ねこ – neko, びょう – byou or みょう – myou)” means “cat”. And we have some popular useful words in which we have the Kanji “猫” like the following examples.
“子猫 (こねこ-koneko)” means “young cat” or “kitty”. The kanji “子 (こ-ko or し-shi)” means child.
“猫舌 (ねこじた-nekojita)” means “a person who can’t eat or drink hot foods or drinks”. So we use this word like the following example; 彼は猫舌だからこの熱い味噌汁は飲めない （かれ は ねこじた だから この あつい みそ しる は のめない-kare ha nekojita dakara kono atsui miso shiru ha nomenai）。The meaning of this Japanese sentence is “He can’t have this hot miso-soup because he is “Nekojita””.
