Ha, ha, kissa means "to pee" in Swedish! But as far as I know, the Russian word for cat is kot (male) or koschka (female).

Yes, there is "kot" (male cat) and "koschka" (female cat) in Russian. "Kisa" (just one s!) means "pussy-cat" in Russian (kissekatt pÃ¥ svenska).

Hehe, but my first thought was "to pee", too! In Sweden it wouldn't be the best idea to use Kissa for a name...
