"Pisică" sounds a lot like "pussycat" and is the generic term but in specific it can refer to female specimens, while males are "pisoi" ("tomcat"). I'm not Romanian though, so more knowledgeable people please correct me.

Yeah you got it all correct.

Anyway here are some synonyms that sound more like what other countries call cats.

Mâță (Cat/Kitty)

Motan (Male cat)

Pisoi pronounced like the french for urinal, pissoir?

There is also "motan", which is used way more than "pisoi", but most of the time "pisică" is used no matter the gender
