Hi Kafetzou, can you help me here, please? I don't understand, is it a saying in English? The text does not make sense (for me), maybe you have a better explanation.

Thank you!

It's a word-for-word translation from Turkish into English, but it does not capture the meaning of the saying in Turkish, if there is one. I'm not familiar with it. Turkish experts, can you help us here?

P.S. I would say "on the cat's back", not "behind the cat".

If it's not an expression in Turkish, I would translate it as follows:

"coal dust on a cat's back" (with no verb - maybe it comes from some longer sentence, like "It disappeared like coal dust on a black cat's back".)

"coal dust on cat's back" sounds right

I've edited the English - Dramati, who originally accepted this, is no longer an English expert.
