What is my cousin's cousin to me?
Your cousin's cousin can be you, your sibling, your first cousin or not related to you, and less often your half-sibling. It depends on which branch of the family you mean.

Your cousin's cousins on your side of the family are you, your siblings or your other first cousins. But your cousin has another parent, and cousins on that side are not related to you.
That's why two people can both be someone's cousin while not being cousins of each other.
