can't hug every cat 

An idiomatic expression similar to "you can't have your cake and eat it too". The phrase originated from a viral youtube video in which a girl professes her love for cats but is devastated that she can't hug every cat, despite how much she wants to.
Debbie: I bought all this cake and food for my birthday party, but because I bought so much food I don't have any money left to pay my friends to attend. I guess you just can't hug every cat.

Don't give a Cat's purr

I coined this phrase on this day 1/16/2022 reflective of the beautiful nature of Cats and how they are fearlessly themselves. To encourage us to be ourselves.
Don't give a Cat's purr be yourself. I don't give a Cat's purr if you are weird or if you think I am weird.

Can't swing a dead cat. 

When you live in such a small town that you run into someone you know EVERY time you go out. Short for "you can't swing a dead cat by the tail without hitting 2 people you know." Basically means you live in too small a town. In gestured form is done by a circling of one hand in the air like a lassoing action.
I went out to eat with my friends and the waitress comes over and says, "hay, I went to high school with you." My friend says, "you can't swing a dead cat."
