kota
"Kota" in Polish means "cat" in the accusative and genitive singular forms.
The word 'kota' here is in the accusative case as it is the object of the verb 'mam' (I have).
Mam kota, który jest bardzo towarzyski.
I have a cat that is very sociable.
In this context, 'kota' is used in the same accusative case because it is the object of the verb 'widziałeś' (have seen).
Czy widziałeś mojego kota w ogrodzie?
Have you seen my cat in the garden?
The word 'kota' appears in the genitive case following 'tego' (this), emphasizing something that is triggering the fear.
