Cultural Note
A diminutive of 'Maus' (mouse), 'Mausi' is a very popular German pet name, especially among younger couples. Germans use many animal-based pet names (Hasi = bunny, Bärchen = little bear, Mäuschen = little mouse). While sweet in private, using pet names publicly can draw amused looks. 'Mausi' is sometimes considered slightly cheesy.
