        When translated to english  je ne sais quoi comes up as >>> I do not know that.


        The phrase would read >>>Cats have a certain I do not know that.Doesn't make sense, does it ?

          t y, Python. It think it means that cats are inscrutible. or that they try to hide their feelings. I read the phrase in the Readers Digest- - May,2012
