My cat's name is Lucy. She is a female(雌性动物), of course, and she is a very pretty cat. Her hair is black and yellow.
Last week Lucy was the only cat in my house. But now I have five cats! Lucy has had four kittens(小猫). She is very happy with her young family.
The four little kittens are not all like their mother. The biggest kitten is quite black. Another is black with white feet and one white ear. Two kittens are like their mother — yellow and black.
My daughter said, "Aren't they pretty? Can I have the black and white one? He's a male(雄性动物), isn't he?"
"I don't know. Perhaps(也许)he is. Perhaps the black one is a male, too. We don't know yet. But the yellow and black kittens are females, of course." I answered.
"Are they? How do you know?" she asked.
"Because they're yellow and black. Male cats never have that colour(颜色). Listen and I'll tell you..."
