With an admirable and almost heroic show of self-discipline, which we have just ruined with the above headline, contributors to The Cheshire Cat Blog have so far carefully avoided the use of any of the following words and phrases as cheap puns:
cat-abolic, cat-aclysm, cat-acomb, cat-alepsy, cat-alogue, cat-amaran, cat-apult, cat-astrophe, cat-atonic, cat burglar, cat-echism, cat-egorical, caterwaul, cat-fish, cat-flap, catgut, cat-hartic, cat-ilinarian, catkin, catnap, catnip, cat o'-nine-tails, cat's cradle, cat's lick, cat's pyjamas, cat-sup, cattery, catty, cat-walk, cat's whiskers ...
... not to mention ...
... let the cat out of the bag, the cat that got the cream, cat on hot bricks, cat on a hot tin roof, cat among pigeons, like something the cat brought in, fighting like cat and dog, raining cats and dogs, curiosity killed the cat, nine lives of a cat, cat got yout tongue, a cat may look at a queen, a cat in hell's chance ... (OK! That will do! Ed.)
We make absolutely no promises that such puns will not appear on these pages in the future. After all, nobody's purr-fect, are they? |
