Black cat with flowers and Portuguese expression Mouse Mat

When Portuguese people say Aqui há gato! they are not saying that there's a cat around. This is a Portuguese expression used when a certain situation raises suspicions. It's like saying something is fishy. If you think something is suspicious or if you sense something not totally right you say Aqui há gato! This illustration of a cat and folk flowers in black and white has great contrast and is quite funny because it plays with the meaning of this expression. It will look funny in a house where there is, in fact, a cat, it being black or white or tabby. I would say that this illustration will especially appeal to cat lovers. It will make a good birthday present for a cat owner or for someone who has just adopted a cat. It's a good conversation starter for most people who aren't Portuguese natives, usually, most people find it funny. A little feline humour is always a good idea in our daily lives, almost as good as learning a second language!
