Monday Mystery: Solve the Word Phrase

Today is your lucky day! Because I just realized that we have not done a word phrase puzzle in a while. Are you ready?
Here is the phrase. Can you figure out what it says? It is a Native American proverb.
Hey you! Do not give up yet. Do you want some clues? Okay, here they are:
  • If you say the words out loud it might help
  • It has to do with cats
  • There is also another animal in the phrase
I am a little worried that "turd" is on the Bad Word list. Please do not tell anybuddy that I wrote that word down, okay?

ps: We just published our very first calendar! You can see the different months by clicking this link to our CafePress store.

JD at I Do Things said...

I got it, Daisy! But only after I read your clues. I think it's OK that "Turd" is in the clue because it's a nonsense phrase and doesn't mean anything.

I'm SOOOOOOOOOO excited about your calendar!!!!

Sandy Kessler said...

really all cats are leopards - figures Harley with all those spots !!!
I must have a calendar don't forget the wig shot

Honey P. Sunshine said...

Cory said...

We got it! We got it!!!! I think the "t" word is on the kinda bad word list, not the totally bad word list. So it's ok.

Cats~Goats~Quotes said...

Mom was saying these funny words (we won't tell about the bad word) and we thought she was silly.

We love your calendar!

Rosemary B❤️ said...

I like it. That is true.
I did not get it until you gave the hints!!

thanks for the tip on the supplements. That sounds like a good idea. We are sure it is not food allergy even though the vat last year thought it was... I mean, Pierro's breeder place was a dusty dump and he was eating gross food like Friskies "super supper" grossss.
Thanks for the idea. We will look into that sounds very good.

purrrs and love Prinnie

GLOGIRLY said...

Hey there Daisy,
We love your puzzle. I had to laugh at Glogirly though. She sounded a little silly talking out loud to herself. I knew the answer all along. I'm pretty sure she cheated. Figures.

I'll look forward to your next puzzle!

Your calendar is gorgeous Daisy...and Harley too. I love visiting your blog to see what you guys are up to but I think my son, he's 8 loves it more than me. If I'm not on the computer, he'll come flying into my room wanting to see what "Daisy and Harley" are doing. You rock!!

Skeezix the Cat said...

I don't think yoo have to werry abowt the bad werds list, cuz you spelt it "turd" insted of the kerrekt spelling, t-e-r-d. Tharefore, I don't think you can git in trubble with turd.

Maureen said...

Aw rats. I didn't get it... thank you for telling us!
