this pun is untranslatable
araña---> noun, spider
araña---> verb, 3rd person, to scratch
gato---> cat
gatear--> verb, to walk on all fours
Literallly: If cats scratch, do spiders walk on all fours?

Literally, it means
If the cats scratch, the spiders crawl.
It's a pun.
Oh, and check out the Span¡shD!ct Translator. It gave the right answer (except getting verb tense wrong).
