and catgut isn't made of cat gut... but I only wanted to make a point

Thnx Garry for the info - Was the cat-o' nine-tails usually used on refractory ship crew?

It literally means: "To have other cats to whip", have better things to do...

In English, you would say: to have other fish to fry, I suppose.

And before you commiserate with French felines on their cruel treatment, think there is no room to swing a cat, catgut, etc. Six of one...

yer bns i had a look at you web page.  i am crap at french so you may come in handy.

Thanks for your concern, guys! I teach private lessons late afternoons and evenings. I'm also a translator working from home, but not working that much now - one of my big clients has pulled out for money reasons . And that's why I came to join the happy Y&Y family: I have a bit of time when the kids are at school. However, I'll never be able (or I'll never really want) to post as frantically as our chatterboxes!
