Correct, please:
The cat, which walking by herself.
Or ^^^ - men (not women) ?Correct, please:
The cat, which walking by herself.
that looks like an incomplete sentence but if it isn't, i'd use
The cat was walking by itself.
i used "itself" since we don't know the sex of the cat... but if we
do, then "himself" for male or "herself" for female is OK...

I thought that in English "cat" is male, like a ship is female. ;)
"The cat, which walking by herself," is probably taken from a story
for children, where they are told how the cat had become a domestic animal.
The cat there could talk, and when the ancient woman invited him into
the cave, he always replied, "I am a cat. I am walking alone and everywhere I want to." ;-) Do you have this story in the English literature?

no, cats are animals and animated objects... ships, cars, trains
are not animals and are inanimate objects...
but it depends on the context, too... there are instances
where "cat" may not be referencing an animal...
eg: that guy is a cool cat, man!

that's why i said it looked like an incomplete sentence... you have
two commas in your snippet whereas the original post had a comma
and ended in a period...

not that i'm aware of but it has been a very long time since i read
any children's books...

As I have learned, the original story was written by Rudyard Kipling,
"THE CAT THAT WALKED BY HIMSELF"
http://www.boop.org/jan/justso/cat.htm
So he was male? ;)
We have a cartoon on this subject. ;) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2P_kWj8bJQ
2All: What is correct: New York DC
or
Washinton DC?
DC is District of Columbia... the only city in DC is Washington...
New York is either the state or a city/town... certainly not in DC...

I haven't read the original, but the Soviet animation is
very clever and not children at all at all:

Kipling's cat is male whereas its Russian couterpart
female, probably because such cunning wisdom is here
considered a feminine trait.
As sure as sugar is sweet, for none else but Kipling wrote it. I

Kipling's cat is male whereas its Russian counterpart IS
female
Kipling's cat is male whereas its Russian counterpart IS female
I intentionally elided that second instance of "is", even as Fracis
Bacon elided "maketh" in:
Reading maketh a full man; conference a ready man; and writing an
exact man.

That guy probably liked speaking informally, too. ;-)
Although, according to punctuation rules, the gaping
comma should be used:
Reading maketh a full man; conference, a ready man;
and writing, an exact man.
BTW, what did he mean speaking "conference maketh a
ready man"?
BTW, what did he mean speaking "conference maketh a ready man"?
That live conversation requires, and therefore develops, quick reasoning.
[...] according to punctuation rules, the gaping comma
should be used:
"Reading maketh a full man; conference, a ready man;
and writing, an exact man."
So, your sentence should be like this:
"Kipling's cat is male whereas its Russian counterpart,
female."
BTW, what did he mean speaking "conference maketh a
ready man"?
and Bacon uses a number of commas there (https://www.enotes.com).[...] according to punctuation rules, the gaping comma should be
used:
"Reading maketh a full man; conference, a ready man; and writing,
an exact man."
Hmm... nice theory, except that the sentence continues after "exact man"
I understand where you're coming from because I encountered similar problems in my adventures with Latin & French. The textbook
explains what we should do... and the concept seems logical until
we get to question #4, which introduces an added wrinkle the
authors didn't tell us about. :-))
So, your sentence should be like this:
"Kipling's cat is male whereas its Russian counterpart, female."
In a short sentence like this I'd say:
Kipling's cat is male; its Russian counterpart, female.
or
Kipling's cat is male, whereas its Russian counterpart is female.
BTW, what did he mean speaking "conference maketh a ready man"?
When all of us share our ideas in E_T the whole is greater than the
sum of its parts. I learn as much from others as they do from me &
I realize.. before you need to ask... why I may suggest you add a
comma here or there even though it appears on the surface that I'm
not taking my own advice. :-)

It's interesting -- if you had used "want" instead
"suggest" would you add "to" before "add"?
"I may want you TO add comma here".

I haven't found there anything on this account.
