I think that I am an adequately intelligent person. However, one of Bubble Toe's books has me stumped.

I get this one:

And this one:

This one, too:

I even get this one:

And this one:

And this one, although who says "grotty":

Meet my grotty cat

And this one might be a stretch, but I see where they're going:

Meet my exoti-cat

But this one! This one I just don't get. What in the world is a "potty cat" and why is it flying?

Meet my potty cat

Ok, so here's my shot at it. It appears to be flying in the air and the word is "potty". If you think of it like the other cats, trot, scot, etc. the word is "pot". Maybe it's supposed to be a pot bellied pig. You know, like "when pigs fly".

LOL that is funny. I don't have any clue what a potty cat is. Mason has that same book - only his is My Dog Book. Dogs that jump, and dogs that gnaw, etc. I'll have to take a closer look and see if we have a Potty Dog!

Maybe the cat is so insane (potty) that it thinks it's flying? That's all I can think of! That book is so cute though!

I have no clue. Cute book though. Maybe potty means something in another culture..

Like NewMamma, I thought pot-bellied, and his stomach is full of air so he's flying. Or, he's just high... Owen has My Monkey Book but its text is quite different.

The first thing that came to my mind was that the cat was high. It's the only thing I could think of that connected the "pot"ty and the flying! The pot-bellied pig thing is probably it, though, since I really hope no one would make a baby book with drug references!

Hey, we've got My Monkey Book, too.

They probably are just banking on kids loving the word "potty," or at least knowing it, and hoping that the parents reading the book to the kids are too delirious with exhaustion to notice.

I agree with you...the cat is high as a kite (from smoking "potty") and that's why he's flying. :)

You all have great thoughts.

I think that Maddy's suggestion might make the most sense, especially if it was written by someone from England. We don't generally use the term potty for crazy in the US, but maybe it is a more common word there. It might also explain why it's eyes are closed and its tongue is sticking out, although both of those would also work with the drug thing....hmmm. I guess we'll never know for sure.

Ah, yes! It does make sense now that I realize Maddy is from the UK (which I should've remembered since I've read some of her knitting posts). Yet another instance in which we're reminded that, although we speak the same language, it's as if they have a different word for everything over there! You'd think I'd be used to that by now with all of Eric's British coworkers...

The book is really cute, "Potty Cat" or not. Now I want it for Jake's birthday!

[this is good]

Wow! What a great collection for reading at the potty! *hehe*
Pretty funny stuff. =)
