My cousin asked my sister if that's my cats Koda and Lilly she found on the cover of a book (top left). Today I received these two copies in the mail directly from the publisher. Such a nice gesture. (sh.itjust.works)

High res pic I took six years ago:

The card reads: Warmest greetings from the DuMont publishing house. Have fun reading it!

The cover reads: Help, my cat is broken! 200 cats going beyond their limits

Don't you think that just comes directly from the german word? Like how I've found 'no problemo' to work in pretty much any language I didn't speak.

Oh yes definitely. I'm not a linguist (just a fan), but I'd assume the English "kaput" was what happened as German immigrants naturalized in English-speaking countries.
