Book description
Cat Got Your Tongue?: Curious Feline Phrases from Around the World - A Whiskered Treasure Trove
If you've ever wondered how many ways a cat can be woven into everyday speech, Hannah Shaw's new book delivers with playful precision. In just under 200 pages she gathers 60 proverbs and idioms that span continents-from Portuguese "Quem não tem cão caça com gato" to Yiddish curses and Dutch kitchen-table warnings-all illustrated by the whimsical Sophie Lucido Johnson.
What makes this collection shine is its accessibility. Each saying appears in its original language, followed by a clear English translation and a concise explanation that feels both educational and entertaining. The author's own travels as an animal advocate lend authenticity; you can almost hear her recounting a Finnish grandmother wiping a table with a cat while muttering "There are many ways..." The book is perfect for casual readers who love cats, linguists fascinated by idiomatic nuance, or travelers craving a cultural shortcut.
The illustrations punctuate the text beautifully. Johnson's gentle line work brings each proverb to life-whether it's a mischievous kitten tied to bacon or a cat that "looks like the cat at a calendar" in Romania. The visuals add a layer of charm that makes the book an ideal gift for cat lovers and language enthusiasts alike.
Shaw's writing style is warm and conversational, making the dense cultural references feel approachable. Even the more obscure entries-such as the Turkish or Malaysian phrases-are unpacked with care, ensuring readers don't feel lost in translation. The book doesn't just list sayings; it invites you to see how cats shape human wisdom, humor, and even curses across cultures.
In sum, Cat Got Your Tongue? is a delightful blend of linguistic curiosity and feline fascination. It's the perfect companion for anyone who enjoys purring through pages while discovering that no matter where we live, cats have a way of speaking to us in their own sly, universal language.
