Cat related idioms
Nano’s use of a cat related idiom in the festival thread reminded me of this site. :slight_smile:

As pathetic a one-legged cat trying to bury turds on a frozen pond.

:laughing: :laughing: :laughing: ROFL :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

This thread reminded me of the EDS commercial about [u]herding cats[/u]

I never really understood the true meaning of “pussy-footin’ around” until I had to let kitties in and out of doors. Flies, mosquitoes, heat, cold, all come in the house while my little darlings are trying to decide exactly how to proceed out the door on this particular day which is apparently different than all others before it. I know they want to go out. It’s just that they don’t seem to know it. Finally a decisive move. One goes out. One stays in. I close the door. Immediately the outside one wants to come inside because the inside one didn’t go out. At the exact same moment, the inside one decides she wants to go out like the outside one. I open the door again. They pass each other going in opposite directions, sit down looking at each other across the threshold, and we start all over again :laughing:.

Oh yes, you definitely live with cats.

Great story. I love cats. I used to hate them. I mean hate them. I mean… I was sitting on the group W bench…oops.

Anyway, I hated cats so bad I was a real prick to my first wife about hers. Now I wouldn’t live without one or three.

Not two?

There are no animals that I hate (except maybe bassett hounds; it’s a long story), and there are many that I really like, but there’s just something special about cats. It’s like living with a wild predator, the ultimate hedonist, and Napoleon, all wrapped up into one creature.

I took a picture of my cat. She clemb up in a lattice.

Living with a cat is like living with a woman, the only difference being if you shoot the cat, it’s only a misdemeanor.

Cat in lattice –

Cat in lettuce –

We can always count on gonzo! :laughing: :laughing: Are you sure you’re not my old Navy roommate?

I love that EDS commercial. It is still, in my estimation, one of the most brilliant bits of short film ever made. Their Running of the Squirrels was pretty funny, too. They had another one, can’t think what it was off-hand.

To get us back to the original topic of cat-related sayings, there is, indeed, more than one way to skin a cat, but here’s how the University of Cincinatti does it – DISSECTION OF THE CAT I: SKINNING.

Disturbing image warning, but fascinating, nonetheless. I ain’t kidding. You cat lovers may want to just pass on this one and go look at the cute kitty pictures at Stuffonmycat.com.

We dissected cats in high school advanced biology class. It was quite fascinating, but the exams were killer. The teacher would stick numbered pins into various parts of the splayed-out cats, and we had to identify each pinned item. (No books or crib notes allowed.) I kept an eye lens in a jar of alcohol as a souvenir; it may still be on a shelf in my old bedroom in my parents’ house.

If you’re looking for cat-related idioms, I always said the lead singer for that band, AC/DC, sounded “like a cat with a fork stuck up his…” ahem

That’s hilarious. I never saw it before. Too bad it’s an EDS commercial.
