I will advise on the Spanish part, and I'm still looking for volunteers on the English part.

You're bang on form. - annierats, Dec 21, 2013
First part of your sentence can be conjugated in different ways - I would use informal you ➜ "Por favor, no digas,". About the rest, the simplest way to say it may be "¿el gato te comió la lengua?" Saludos! - RelaxingCup, Dec 22, 2013
@ R C , thanks mate it is gradually taking shape. - ray76, Dec 22, 2013
:-) Congratulations mate - pmikan-pam, Dec 24, 2013

Mm, Christams lunch at Grannys, or Granny for Christmas lunch? - annierats, Dec 21, 2013
Direct translation from yours: "Sí, estoy pensando LO que tú estás pensando. Una cena de 5 platos." Saludos. - RelaxingCup, Dec 22, 2013
Or just: "Cena de 5 platos. (without the article)" - RelaxingCup, Dec 22, 2013

I am on my best behavior. These people may look nice, but do you see what they did to their last big cat?

Estoy en mi mejor comportamiento. Estas personas pueden parecer agradables, pero ¿Ves lo que hicieron a su último gran gato?

I would say: "¿Ves lo que LE hicieron a su último gato?" The rest is perfect. Saludos. - RelaxingCup, Dec 22, 2013
"gran gato" too, sorry. I missed it. - RelaxingCup, Dec 22, 2013

Skin? No way! - Raja-jani, Dec 21, 2013
Hi there! Skin ➜ "piel". "Cuero" ➜ Leather. And should be: "el cuero" or "la piel". Un saludo. - RelaxingCup, Dec 22, 2013
Thanks R C...I keep messing up. I really appreciate your help. - 0095ca4c, Dec 23, 2013

El tigre dice, "Maté a este leopardo y mis amigos humanos hicieron una alfombra para mí. Me siento tan bien!"

The tiger says, "I killed this leopard and my human friends made a rug for me. I feel so good!"

Hola amigo! We were thinking along the same lines again. :=) - 0095ca4c, Dec 21, 2013
Good to hear from you, Margherite. - Raja-jani, Dec 21, 2013
Very good. Better use the same past tense: "yo maté - los humanos hicieron" or "yo he matado - los humanos han hecho". My suggestion: "Maté a este leopardo y mis amigos humanos hicieron una alfombra para mí.". Un saludo :) - RelaxingCup, Dec 22, 2013
Gracias, RC. - Raja-jani, Dec 24, 2013

Sí, Rajá es una mascota cariñosa, ¡pero al principio era una lata enseñarle!

Yes, Rajah's a lovely pet, but house-training him was a pain at first!

Por favor, ¡corrijan mi español!

" licking his snout "¿ quizás ? - ray76, Dec 21, 2013
Hi Andre, when asking questions you'll have to add a tilde at Donde and two questionmarks. The rest, I wouldn't dare to give a comment. - Aranjuez12, Dec 21, 2013
Yo se pero se me olvido. :O Gracias. :) - 00551866, Dec 21, 2013
"¿Dónde está el otro perrito blanco y por qué el tigre se está lamiendo el hocico?" LOL - RelaxingCup, Dec 21, 2013

I meant tasty.. - annierats, Dec 21, 2013
at first I thought it was a very complex abbreviation of some phrase but then it turned out to be tasty. Rather tasty. - Aranjuez12, Dec 21, 2013

Parece que el perrito sabe que mirar a la cara de este animalote es como mirar a las fauces de la muerte, pero no sé lo que piense la gente...

It seems the little dog knows to look this big animal in the face is to look into the jaws of death, but I don't know what the people think...

"... sabe QUE mirar a la cara de este animalote es (como) mirar a las fauces de la muerte, pero no sé lo que piensa la gente". Claw ➜ "garra/zarpa". Jaws ➜ "mandíbula/fauces". Plus: "Gente" in Spanish conjugates as singular. Un saludo. - RelaxingCup, Dec 22, 2013
Thank You! - dennywells, Dec 22, 2013

Welcome. "I"... - rac1, Dec 21, 2013
