What are the original and translated versions of the classical Chinese "Cat Pup"?

The original "Cat Pup":

Two cats, a yellow cat and a white cat, are fighting on the house, whistling, raising their hair and vertical tails, and their eyes are facing each other. For a long time, the white cat retreated slightly, the yellow cat rose to catch up, and the white cat dared not come back into the room.

Vernacular translation:

There is a yellow cat and a white cat. They fought on the roof and sang against the whistling wind. Their hair stands on end and their tails stand on end. They look at each other, and the two cats are neck and neck. Over time, the white cat retreated slightly, and the yellow cat pursued the victory. The white cat hurried into the house and never dared to come out again.

Life habits of cats:

Cats are fast and good at jumping. Eat fish, mice, rabbits, etc. Cats like to eat fish and mice, because cats are Nocturnal Animals. In order to see things clearly at night, they need a lot of taurine. Both mice and fish contain taurine, so cats eat them not only because they like fish and mice, but also because of their own needs. Cats, as natural enemies of rodents, can effectively reduce the harm of rodents to crops such as young crops, which can be seen from the font "Miao" of ancient cats in China.

Cats can walk freely on high walls and jump lightly, so they have to be impressed by their sense of balance. This is mainly due to the cat's outstanding reaction nerve and sense of balance. It only needs to change the position and height of its tail slightly to achieve the balance of its body, and then it can jump quickly by using the strong muscles and strong joints of its hind feet.

Even if you fall in the sky, you can change your posture in the air and land lightly and accurately. Good at climbing, but not good at falling from a height. Even if a cat falls or jumps from a height, it relies on its tail to adjust its balance and let its padded limbs land. Be careful not to pull off the cat's tail, it will affect its balance ability, and it is easy for the cat to have diarrhea and shorten its life.

As for the sleep state, cats sleep for 14 ~ 15 hours a day, and some cats sleep for more than 20 hours, so cats are called "lazy cats". However, if you carefully observe the way cats sleep, you will find that as long as there is a little noise, cats' ears will move, and if someone comes near, cats will suddenly wake up.

Originally, cats were hunting animals. In order to keenly perceive all the movements of the outside world, they don't sleep very dead, so they shouldn't be called "lazy", because cats only sleep for 4 to 5 hours, and most of the time they should be regarded as "catnap" or close their eyes. Cats who are used to being with humans since childhood sleep relatively dead and sleep for a long time.
