All I've got at home is one pony and two dogs and four cats and six bunny rabbits and two parakeets and three canaries and a green parrot and a turtle and a silly old hamster.
Some cats like to catch small birds, like canaries. If someone looks very proud or satisfied with himself, we say he " looks like the cat that ate the canary."
有的猫喜欢抓小鸟,比如。如果有人看起来很骄傲,或对自己很满意,我们就可以说他looks like the cat that ate the canary(感觉自我良好)。
