@biggie @sarahbecan Spaventoso means frightening, not frightened, so grande spaventoso gatto (grande gatto spaventoso would be the more usual word order) means big terrifying cat, not big terrified cat. ๐Ÿ™€

There's no Italian expression with gatto that means fraidy/scaredy cat. Best to call your poor pooch a fifone (pronounced fee-FOH-nรฉ) instead (or a fifona if it's a female). :blobcatdrakeyes:
