English term or phrase: I can't do that many cats
Ciao a tutti,
c'è una tizia VIP che chiede a un'amica di ospitarla per una notte, e le dice che "I was going to crash at Taylor Swift's,
but I can't do that many cats."
Qualche idea?
Buona domenica a tutti!

Reference information:
"Swift has always been a feline lover, making her two other cats, Meredith Grey and Olivia Benson, almost as famous as she is. Benjamin Button is a new addition to her kitty crew." - https://www.standard.co.uk/insider/alist/taylor-swift-cats-n...

"We'll have to wait until Friday to see the first official trailer for the "Cats" movie, but a new teaser might satisfy fans who are already eager to pounce.

The clip features stars Jennifer Hudson, Jason Derulo, Judi Dench, Idris Elba, Taylor Swift and others speaking about what the project means to them.

The musical is based on Andrew Lloyd Webber's long-running stage adaption of a work by another famous T.S. -- poet T. S. Eliot's "Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats."" - https://edition.cnn.com/2019/07/17/entertainment/cats-taylor...

Quindi probabilmente il tuo sorgente gioca su entrambe le cose: i gatti (in carne e ossa) che Taylor Swift ha a casa E il suo ruolo nell'adattamento cinematografico del musical omonimo.
