In English we can add emphasis to a word either by raising the tone of voice, or by placing it in an unusual place in its sentence.
He ate cauliflower. [no special emphasis]
He ate cauliflower. [emphasis through tone - shown by italics].
Cauliflower .. he ate that? [emphasis through position].
---- Emphasis through position is usually easier to show in written language - emphasis by tone works well in speech, but is hard to write down.

'Cats are what she likes best, then rabbits and hamsters.' Here the word 'cats' is emphasised by being placed first, out of the normal word order.
