Many years ago there were no leash laws.許多年以前，寵物系繩的法規(guī)還沒有頒布

People’s pets were allowed to roam around freely.人們的寵物可以自由的四處奔跑

It was hard to tell sometimes if an animal was someone’s pet or a stray.有時(shí)很難分清，一只動物是某人的動物，還是流浪者

While we lived in Kentucky當(dāng)我們還住在肯塔基州的時(shí)候

there was a cat I named Miss Kitty who came to visit every so often.有一只被我喚作“喵小姐”的貓咪，她經(jīng)常來拜訪我們

When she arrived she would meow at the front door.每次到來，她就會在我們門前喵喵直叫

When I heard the meow我聽到貓叫

I’d run to find some food and water就會端來食物和水

and take it out to her.放在她面前

She would eat, drink, stay a short while她會吃吃喝喝，然后留下來玩耍一會兒

then she would be on her way.然后就會離開

There was a period of time I didn’t see Miss Kitty.后來有一段時(shí)間，我一直沒有看到喵小姐

I wondered what had happened to her.我不知道她出了什么事

Then one day I heard the familiar meow at the front door.直到有一天，我聽到門外傳來熟悉的貓叫聲

When I opened the door I was surprised!我打開門，頓時(shí)感到驚喜不已

There was Miss Kitty with a tiny kitten in her mouth.喵小姐站在門外，嘴里還叼著一只小小貓崽

After I had made a big fuss about the little kitten to Miss Kitty我對喵小姐大肆夸贊了一番這只小貓崽多么可愛

I ran back into the house to get some food and water.然后跑回房去拿食物和水

I felt sad when I came back to see that Miss Kitty and the kitten were gone.沒想到讓我傷心的是，當(dāng)我回到門外時(shí)，喵小姐和小貓崽已經(jīng)走了

when she brought her four kittens to the door.當(dāng)她把那四只小貓帶到我家門外的時(shí)候
