In this case, that's because both languages borrowed their words for cat. Finnish "kissa," according to wiktionary, comes from Swedish "kissa/kisse" (a more colloquial synonym of "katt"), and Hungarian "macska" is a Slavic loan word of unknown origin :3
I'd love to know what these languages original / native terms for cat were, if they had any.
