Slice of Life 15: Here Kitty, Kitty, A New Pet


Listen Later

Pets are very common in American households. While cats and dogs are most common, it is not unusual to find someone with a more exotic pet, like a rat, a lizard, a bird, or a snake. Pets live a life of luxury and require care and attention from all members of a household. While they are shy at first when adopted, pets generally learn to love their new home and their owners.

Dialogue

A: Ai meu Deus, você viu a foto da gatinha que a gente vai adotar?
B: Vi! Mamãe mandou uma mensagem. Ela é tão fofinha!
A: A gente tem que comprar tanta coisa pra ela.
B: Uma cama, uma torre, caixa de transporte e brinquedos. Esqueci alguma coisa?
A: Uma escova e uma caixinha de areia.
B: Verdade, verdade.
A: É, a gente tem que deixar ela confortável pra ela ganhar confiança e querer ficar bem grudadinha na gente.
B: Só tenho medo dela me arranhar.
A: Ah, a gente ensina que não pode!
B: É… a gente tem que ter tudo pronto até quinta-feira. É o dia em que ela chega do abrigo.

A: We have to buy so much stuff for her.
B: A bed, a cat tree, a cat carrier, and toys! Am I forgetting anything?
A: Yeah! A brush and a litterbox.
B: You’re right, you’re right.
A: I mean we have to keep her comfortable if she’s ever gonna trust us enough to snuggle with us!
B: I’m just afraid that she’s gonna scratch me.

B: I guess… we have until Thursday to get all her stuff ready. That’s when she comes home from the animal shelter.
