Cats are the most popular pets among Americans. 1. .

Some cats like to catch small birds, like canaries (金丝雀). If someone looks very proud or satisfied with himself or herself, we say he or she looks like “the cat that ate the canary”.

2. . So if you “play cat and mouse” with someone, you change between different kinds of behavior when dealing with another person. For example, a child might offer something sweet to her little brother and then take it away when he reaches for it.

One old and funny expression describes something that is the best. Americans might say that something is “the cat’s miaow (喵)”. 3. . Sometimes people sleep for a short time during the day. This is called “a cat nap”. If you tell about something that was supposed to be a secret, we say you “let the cat out of the bag”. 4. . Then someone might ask if “the cat has got your tongue”.

Have you ever watched children in a classroom when their teacher leaves for a few minutes? 5. . It means people sometimes misbehave when there is no supervision (监督).

C. Sometimes, a cat likes to play with a small animal it catches.
