Is that kinda like "ser" and "estar" in Spanish?

"Eso es un gato" (That is a cat) vs. "El gato está en la casa" (The cat is in the house)

But if I were to ask "Where is the cat?" in Klingon, I'd say "nuqDaq 'oH(taH?) vIghro''e'?", rather than "nuqDaq SaH vIghro'?" And the answer would likely be "juHDaq 'oHtaH vIghro''e'."... at least, that's my understanding of the matter :-)
