The French expression être comme chien et chat (literally “to be like dog and cat”) means that two people don’t get along at all and argue constantly. 🐶🐱💥
Just like a dog and a cat always squabbling, these people are in constant conflict!

💬 Example:
You’re planning the seating arrangement for a family dinner and want to avoid drama…
👉 You make sure your two aunts don’t sit next to each other because they fight like cats and dogs!
