Good one. Adding it now.

Aw, Ducky. What about Patchfur? He's quite a contribution.


edit: /didn't see Kayte's post.

Rat-food eater? mm... I'm thinking they might use "rat-food" in place of crow-food, yes, but considering how much of these cats scavenge, it wouldn't be much of an insult... would it?

In any case, adding rat-food.

Patchfur's a splendid contribution. His interactions cause a lot of drama.

I've never heard of the insult 'crow-food eater'. o.o

[Ten]

Crow-food is what the cats in the Warriors books would call old (that is, not fresh) prey, sometimes being rotten or having maggots.

Aw, you peeps are nice.

How about

To have sand in ones ears - To be deaf to reason.

[Ten]

hm. We already have "to have one's head in the sand".
That's not bad, Rolo, but it would sound redundant to list both.

[kayte103]

Maybe "to count one's kits before they are born" for a cat who does something before he knows about it?

[Ten]

That might sound awkward for toms
but perhaps it could work.

[Rolo]

What about 'To count one's crickets before they've swarmed'?

Based on Kayte's idea.

[Ten]

Isn't it locusts that swarm?
hm... but then, once they've swarmed, they'd be harder to count...
Count prey in the pile before it's caught...?
