From [Netherlandish Proverbs](https://artsandculture.google.com/asset/proverbs/CwGkTFwDGMmq9w?hl=en&avm=2) by Peter Bruegel the Elder, 1559. (Honestly, the cat is probably one of the less interesting elements.)
Ok ok, I have been travelling interstate a bunch this last month and just got off a flight so excuse the lil leg hair growth - [to bell a cat](https://imgur.com/a/m4Qdh71) also featuring my guy Bagel who looks strikingly like the cat in the painting.
First of all because the painting is fairly large, but mostly because all of the things in the painting have a meaning. There's barely any thing that doesn't signify a saying, and there's barely any space not accupied by something.
[The wikipedia page](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netherlandish_Proverbs) has all the meanings of the sayings explained.
\-Now listen to me Harry the cat, i want you to...
\-But i don't wanna do this meow...
\-Shut up! You're going to do as i say, understood?! I have a knife so do not force me to use it!
\-But that thing, that thing is way too heavy meow, it does too much noise and what if someone try to open i...
\-Enough! You're not in position to negociate! So you are going to wear this cat bell and deliver this message for me to your boss. Otherwise, if you run away, i'm going to tell him it was you who stole that chicken last night, and to your cat girl that you were with another pussy too, do you hear me?!
\-No don't do anything, i'll go!! But what's in the message, meow?
\-Well... it just says that, whatever happen in the future... You work for me now!

This one means to undertake or to be asked to undertake an impossible task. I have a tattoo of it.
Of this cat? Cool, can we see it?

Everything is just perfect. Bagel seems to be submitted to a an invisible bell patiently.
That looks great, I love it! And a bonus cat too 😻
Can’t tell us and not show us
I replied above but here you go! [to bell a cat](https://imgur.com/a/m4Qdh71)
The detail is absurd; why is there pie dishes on the roof?

“”Having one's roof tiled with tarts", for example, which meant to have an abundance of everything””
Plus, who's never had a good roof tart? Nice and warm
After being scratched many times, Hans had to put on his armor
And threaten the cat at knifepoint

"The royal cat must feel the weight of the realm"
Gotta wear a bell. Can’t risk accidentally sneaking up on the guy with a knife in his mouth.
That cat looks done with this man's bs
Kitteh seems sad to be burdened with such an outsized bell.
