Dear Jake,
I went to my favorite oriental restaurant for a bite to eat last night and after my meal I received an odd fortune cookie, it said :”Tem um gato no meu prato”. I was hopping you could tell me what it means, I take my fortune cookies seriously.

Here’s the deal Mizzay, your question was a very complicated one for which I had to delve deep into my cranial cavity to find the correct answer. It turns out that long before the days of Confucius there was was Joao Paulo Dos Santos De Souza Batista Da Silva Carlos Domingo. Mr. Dos Santos De Souza Batista Da Silva Carlos Domingo was a bottomless pit of knowledge in his era. Apparently some of the metaphors used by Mr. Dos Santos De Souza Batista Da Silva Carlos Domingo were adopted by Confucius during his ministry. Some of the metaphors were not even translated from Mr. Dos Santos De Souza Batista Da Silva Carlos Domingo’s native language which was Portuguese. To make a long story longer, your fortune is that you have a cat on your plate, which is a metaphorical way of saying that you should beware of wooden nickels.
Thanks for the Question, Jake
