in this one particular time period.

出去大范围巡视

In the heart of the village

在镇子中部

the average male cat

普通的公猫

goes just over 100 metres from his house,

仅在家附近100米的范围内活动

and female cats just over half that.

而母猫则只在离家50米范围内活动

Some of our cats that lived in this much more dense¹ area,

有些猫生活在更密集的区域

actually how far they went was much denser²,

而他们活动的区域则还要密集

was much closer, wasn't it?

更靠近 对吧

So the cat density³ is probably much higher here than it is here.

所以这里的猫猫密度要比这里大很多

And we've got a much wider roaming on this particular day.

而且今天我们观察到了更大的活动范围

Another thing that's clear is that these cats

还有一点能够确定的就是这些猫们

seem to have distinct patches that they roam in.

看起来似乎有不同的巡视区域

Some areas of the village

镇子里有些区域

which apparently⁴ aren't being used by the cats,

明显没有猫去

but then it may not be, of course, a typical evening.

但是也有可能平时不是这样

- One day. - Not the greatest of weather.

-才一天 -而且天气不怎么样

So the secret world of cats happens close to your back door,

所以猫的神秘世界就在你门外

just out of sight.

只不过你看不到罢了
