Bengal Cat World Advent Calendar – Day Four

Hello my friends, Spot here!

 

Welcome to day four of our advent calendar – we hope you’re enjoying our countdown to Christmas! As June says, you can look at our advent calendar as much as you like as there’s no calories in our festive feast of pics and phrases! 😆

 

So what’s today’s phrase? Can you guess from this pic?

I’m not letting Lula out!

 

Yes! You guessed it: It’s letting the cat out of the bag which otherwise means that you’re telling a secret 🙂 Or, in my case, not letting Lula out of that bag 😯 (you can just see the top of her ear poking out! 🙂 )

 

The phrase is said to originate when people in the olden days used to trade high-value piglets; they would put them in a bag and sell them. But sometimes, people would put less valuable animals such as cats in the bag (not that cats are lower value than pigs in our view of course) so when the bag was opened, it was said to be letting the cat out of the bag – or letting people know of the secret! 🙂

So now I’m going to let you into a secret…. Day 5 will be posted tomorrow! 🙂

Take care my friends!

Love from Spot
