12. I got a phone call from my brother last night.

Some quiestions: in the 13th "breakfast this morning" why there is no "breakfast in this morning"?
"Cats like milk" or "The cats like milk?" in this case the word "cats" does mean cats at all, a group of animals with the name "Cats"?

, though it's possible to think of contexts in which 'the' is possible. There is no 'some' before '**** er' in #13. 'Bread and butter' is thought of as an uncountable item.

All OK. However, you may think of "bread and butter" as a unit in 13. Then you can write I had a piece of bread and butter ....
We don't use a preposition with "this morning", "this afternoon", or "this evening".
No "in" or "on" in any of these: [yesterday / this / tomorrow] [morning / afternoon / evening]
Cats like milk. --- All cats like
