Hello Romale,
The initial statement implies that Steve has a lot of girlfriends, and they don't know about each other.
The answers mean:
(a) feral cat - a domestic cat that is living wild, probably in a town or city. (b) house cat - a domestic cat. (c) polecat - an animal related to stoats and weasels, a picture of which can be found here. (d) alley cat - the same as "feral cat"; but with an implication of noisy fighting and mating.
Therefore the answer is (d), as Steve likes to enjoy himself.
Best wishes,
MrP |

another word that would fit would be "tomcat" -- assuming you're referring to a male.

I wouldn't like to find women's digits in a book.

Romale, "digits" is popular American slang for "phone number(s)".
"I got that girl's digits." = "I got that girl's phone number." _________________ Billie Jean is not my lover. Hee. |
