I didn't know la gata was a female cat... we have a female cat and call her el gato. Thanks!

That is an excellent answer by Patrice B as it covers all gender and quantity. I only have male cats and I believe they are starting to understand the Spanish I am teaching them. Sometimes they are the only ones around for me to practice on! :)

Naomi,
Hoy, aprendí también que "el gato" significa "the jack" (for an automobile).

It's raining like cats and dogs- está lloviendo a cántaros.

It is interesting how a word like cántaro...pitcher?...can mean cats and dogs. But then English has its share of ambiguous, confusing idioms.
