What is the meaning of 咬人猫 I was looking up the meaning of 咬人猫 on google translate. 咬人猫 translated to 

Bite the cat


I know a little bit of kanji and know that 人 means person/human/man ... and 猫 means cat. So "Bite the cat" surprised me as there is nothing related to "person/human ... ".

Unconvinced, I tried 咬猫 which also translated to 

Bite the cat


Now I realised Google is just messing me with, LOL. Anyway, jokes aside, I tried the 人猫 next, which translated to 

Human cat


This made more sense to me.

Looking up further, I got the following

咬 yǎo
    （指用牙）bite

   被狗/蛇咬了一口
     get bitten by a dog/snake


So after all this, I was pretty sure it is thing related to "bite" and "human cat". So, I believe 咬人猫 should be something like 

biting human cat


So what is the actual meaning?

PS: No idea of Chinese language and sub-par knowledge of kanji. Was just curious, so ended up here :)
Well, in Taiwan, "咬人猫" is the local name of  urtica thunbergiana (蕁麻).

It's a poisonous plant.




The moral is: don't rely on google translate solely :)
