Polish term (edited):
Ma kota Roksanę i kota na punkcie jazdy rowerem.
Selected
She's got a kitty called Roxan(n)a/Roksana and she's batty about biking.
I imagine that the point is to preserve the witty word play in the Polish.
This should do that: there's both alliteration 'kitty called ...' 'batty about biking' and rhythmic and semantic linkage of the two clauses by way of the words 'kitty' (i.e. from 'kitten') and 'batty' (i.e. from 'bat').
