НЯ is pronounced nya which apparently can mean "cute" in Russian. Guess that might be the joke?

Cat is Кошка in Russian / кіт in Ukrainian

Nya is an onomatopoeia for the sound a cat makes. Typically associated with pop culture representations of felines, catgirls/boys, and other cat-like beings.

If 'R' is pronounced 'arr' then is 'Я' pronounced "rra'?

"Ya". And the Cyrillic "H" is an N. So, ня = nya.

"Nya" is Japanese for "meow".
