English term or phrase: Cat fright
Headline of ironic article in magazine...

"I'd been living with my bloke for a month when we had his parents for dinner. We were getting along fine until his Mum started talking about her work for the RSPB. She was saying how much she hated cats because of all the songbirds they kill. My cat Oscar chose that exact moment to come in carrying a headless blackbird. That was bad enough but as the whole thing was so farcical, I collapsed in a fit of nervous giggles. My 'mother-in-law' was not best pleased!"

So, title is play on words - instead of 'cat fight' (term used to describe a fight between women), 'cat fright'. Any ideas?! :)

Hola Erica,

L'única cosa que se m'acudeix que manté el "gat" i "les baralles" és l'expressió "com gat i gos".

No sé si et servirà.
Molta sort! :)
