猫有条命而我只有一颗心
[māo yŏu tiáo mìng ér wŏ zhĭ yŏu yī kē xīn]
'Mao You Tian Ming Er Wo Zhi You Yi Ke Xin' literally translate as ‘the cat has nine lives and I just only have one heart’, implying that cats have multiple chances while my emotions only have limited times and could easily be hurt. It shows the owner feels more vulnerable compared with others.
