... I can't follow your comment. Kitties are home to the Kitty family and cows 
to cows. A better one would be: is a puma a kitty. The issue is family 
resemblance. As to what goals two children can score calling kitties "cows," 
one would need to know more about what is going on. Is the Kitty really fat? If 
your point is merely that the kids don't know the language, that's not a point 
(or a goal) at all. Of course, one could imagine a scenario where the word 
"kitty" and "cow" were mis-learned, so that each was used for the other. Here, 
we have the same goals scored as any other member of the language culture, just 
under warrant of the wrong uniform.
