Incluso las parejas gatos que soportar cuando sus hijos se suben a la cama con ellos

(Even cat-couples have to "put up with" their kids climbing into bed with them!

(This was a tricky sentence for me to construct - all help appreciated.)

Watch what happens when they hear me say: "There is more than one way to skin a cat!"

Vea lo que sucede cuando me olgen decir: "hay más que una manera de pelar un gato"

(Cada quien tiene su manera de matar pulgas.)

me oyen? :) and I think the equivalent saying for skinning a cat is: hay muchas maneras de matar pulgas :) - Kiwi-Girl, Aug 8, 2010
Thanks, I found the Cada quien in the phrase book. But I didn't know if the cats would understand and it was the cats reactions that I was going for. - LateToDinner, Aug 8, 2010

Thank you, Heidita. M-C, at least you helped me get closer. - LateToDinner, Aug 8, 2010

This really only works in English but here goes: smile

Tal vez haya oído o de estar tan cansado como un perro pero esto es lo que se llama una siesta de gato triples.

You may have heard of being 'dog tired' but this is what is called a triple cat nap.

¡He oído hablar de la canícula del verano!

¡Éstos son los días gato de verano!

I've heard of the dog days of summer!

Here are the cat days of summer!

If you are not sure what dog days of summer means click here.

Please correct my Spanish as this is the machine translation.

This should help. If it doesn't, send the bill to Fontenero! - LateToDinner, Aug 8, 2010
Gracias, LateToDinner! I knew the machine didn't do the translation correctly. Again, Gracias! - bandit51jd, Aug 8, 2010
I added a link for you Heidita and other SD members. It opens a new thread about what dog days are and hopefully cat days of summer will make more sense.íPerdón por la confusión! Sorry for the confusion! - bandit51jd, Aug 8, 2010
It is second nature to me to make puns, I love them, but in my travels I have learned they often only work on limited audiences with similar backgrounds. - LateToDinner, Aug 8, 2010
Just like my caption ...our expression has to do with cats, the same expression in Spanish has to do with killing fleas. Why would that cause the cats to bolt upright and run? But talk about skinning them and watch them panic! - LateToDinner, Aug 8, 2010
Late, you get more obtuse everyday ! - fontanero, Aug 8, 2010

Parecen inocentes, pero......
