That vs. which

That
/ðət/ (Conj.)
Which
/wɪʧ/ (conj.)
That is a conjunction introducing a restrictive subordinate clause:
“I fed the cat that sat on the mat.” [implied: ... and I let the other one, which sat in the armchair, go hungry].
Which, by contrast, is a conjunction introducing a non-restrictive subordinate clause:
“The cat, which sat on the mat, had halitosis.” [Its halitosis was not contingent on its location mat-wise; indeed there could be an entirely distinct minty-breathed moggy sitting on the same mat, for all we know.]
Lesson: Get a dog.
