   Translation is an art, not a science, and it's not really fair to try   
   to criticize a translation just by listening for a few words and   
   seeing if their literal dictionary definitions appear in the English   
   subtitles.  I don't know what this line is offhand, but I assume that   
   the translator just chose "how cute" over "what a cute kitty" --   
   perhaps due to timing issues, or something like that.
