Это кот/кошка. Это коты/кошки. 🤣🤣🤣
Обычно, когда неизвестен пол животного, используется женский вариант кошка/кошки. Но иногда даже по внешнему виду можно определить мужское начало, и тогда - кот/коты. В любом случае, большой ошибки не будет, вас поправят, если что.

@Ygorka I got it! Thank you! Actually, I just started learning Russian, but it seems like it’s very very very difficult to me😂

@Ygorka By the way, can I say “Это кошка.” if I want to say both “This is a cat” and “There is a cat”?
- Russian
@anzu_12 "There is a cat" I would translate as "там (есть) кот/кошка". But in specific situations, yes, you can. It doesn't always matter. Only when it is important to indicate that the cat is there, and not here.

@anzu_12 Not difficult at all, even children speak it before school. 🤣🤣🤣 Read more, listen and talk more. The level of knowledge of Russian is highly dependent on practice. It is important to understand grammar well, but only a teacher can remember it. Many do not remember it at all.

Есть кошка. (猫がいる)
Есть кошки. (猫たちがいる)
Там (есть) кошка. (そこに猫がいる)
Там (есть) кошки. (そこに猫たちがいる)
猫の性別が不明のなら、女性形のほうが安全だと思います。明らかに男性のなら、「кот/коты」に変わります。

@anzu_12
1) 猫がいる。どこにいるか存じません。
2) 猫はそこにいる。
2) 猫がそこにいる。
二つ目と三つ目は大体に同じ意味だと思います。「есть」という単語はただ物体の存在を表す動詞で、大抵は書く必要がありません。物体の場所とか位置とかを強調したい場合は、書かないほうがいいですけど、存在を強調したい場合は書いたほうがいいと思います。
