How can I say in english "dentellato come un agrifoglio"? I translated this phrase in this way: "indented like a holy" maybe is better "notched"? What the author means is that the eras of a cat are irregular and bitten because of countless battles with others cats. In fact the contest which is the phrase is located is: "He wasn't what we would can call a lovely cat. His head was strangely big and flat, covered by rough grayish stains, souvenir of countless battles. And (other memory of the same battles) the ears were bent forward on its forehead like ragged brown hood: a hundred bites made it INDENTED LIKE A HOLY".
