Thành ngữ "like a cat in a strange garret" dùng để chỉ trạng thái rất cảnh giác và rụt rè (giống con mèo ở trên một cái gác xép lạ).
Ví dụ
Ransom said that he had always voted a Democratic ticket (bỏ phiếu cho Đảng dân chủ), and that while just becoming a member of the Republican Party he felt like a cat in a strange garret, yet he was pleased with the garret.
I do wish Jane and Ruby had gone in for First Class, too. I suppose I won't feel so much like a cat in a strange garret when I get acquainted, though. I wonder which of the girls here are going to be my friends. It's really an interesting speculation (suy đoán).
Many people, you know, can't sleep away from home — dogs or no dogs. Everything may be as comfortable as possible, but the mind is uneasy, like a cat in a strange garret. It is for this reason that many famous men could not work without their familiar tools, materials, and surroundings.
