house cat

基本解释

The small house cat was once a highly honored animal.
小小的家猫一度是高度受尊重的动物。
If a tiger's paws were as soft as a house cat's, he'd need hippo-sized feet to stand.
如果老虎爪子上的肉垫要像家猫一样粉红柔软的话，那老虎恐怕需要像河马那么粗的腿脚才站得起来。
Conversely, why does the house cat grow obese and lethargic, while a bobcat with nearly identical genes stays fit?
相反地，为什么家猫会变得肥胖和懒惰，而和它接近基因的野猫却很健康。

And it talks. As the cat entertains the children it creates complete disorder in the house.

But the produce comes from the ranch of owners Catherine and Joe Bartolomei (sister and brother, not husband and wife) just up the road in Forestville, and a quartet of chickens roam the property. (Granted, they live in a peaked-roof house well padded with straw and furnished with a heat lamp.) Then there is that quintessential inn amenity, a house cat.
