I tripped across a very funny picture that speaks a thousand words answers so many questions you didn’t ask.
I never thought of it like this, but it makes PERFECT sense.
With all the exaughstive backstory, resources, novels and sourcebooks, NEVER is it explained what Yoda’s race is or what planet he is from. Every other alien in the Star Wars Universe is detailed with at least a paragraph explaining the name and culture type each alien is from, but not Yoda.
Then to make matters worse, Episode 1 introduces Yaddle, another Jedi Council member that is stated to be the same race as Yoda. Still not admitting what that race is or why they cannot grasp the grammar of Intergalactic Basic.
And speculating on just what other alien races Yoda might be physically attracted to, it now makes sense exactly where Mogwai come from. (I just now decided that Mogwai is plural for Mogwai…deal with it)
