Who or ... ?
Hi friends,
I learnt that in English we use "WHO" for God and human being whereas "WHICH" is used for animals, plants and non living things. If its fine then please review the conversation below and advise:
Tom: What do you do at eleven o'clock?
Ms. Venika: I go for a walk with cuto.
Tom: Who is cuto?
Ms. Venika: cuto is my cat.

Cuto should be capitalized if it's the name of your cat. I think your explanation about who and which are applicable to relative pronouns in many contexts. In your dialog who is an interrogative pronoun, and which would be wrong.
