How would you say "At least you got the cat you've always wanted" in spanish? It would be said sarcastically. Ex: A son wanted a cat his whole life. He finally got his cat and his cat ate his house. Then the son's dad says "At least you got the cat you've always wanted."

Please Answer

Por lo menos recibiste el gato que siempre desabas.

Wow I never would of come up with this -- I know you are correct.


I always tend to use the verb "llegar" for "get or got" in this case. I don't think "conseguir" works: I spoke out loud to myself:

  • Por lo menos has llegado un gato que siempre has querido. (or just "siempre querías")

(At least you got the cat you've always wanted.)


Well "Samdie" how far off was I?
