  • Normal, I feel the same way...

    In German, you refer to animals in general as "it" but every animal has a gender in the German language...

    For example, the dog (Der Hund) is male and the cat (Die Katze) is female so the problem of referring to animals as "it" does not really occur to me in my Native language...
