house cat

基本解釋

The small house cat was once a highly honored animal.
小小的家貓一度是高度受尊重的動(dòng)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墊要像家貓一樣粉紅柔軟的話，那老虎恐怕需要像河馬那么粗的腿腳才站得起來(lái)。
Conversely, why does the house cat grow obese and lethargic, while a bobcat with nearly identical genes stays fit?
相反地，為什么家貓會(huì)變得肥胖和懶惰，而和它接近基因的野貓卻很健康。

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.
