In the Simpsons episode 1F17 - Lisa's Rival which was screened on CH4 last week (in the UK), Lisa falls out with a girl called Alison Taylor through jealously because she is smarter.
In this episode Alison and her dad play word games, where they take names of people and rearrange the letters to describe that person. The example given was Alec Guinness - genuine class.
At the end of the episode when Ralph Wiggum beats Lisa and Alison in the diorama, he is walking home with them and says "My cat's breath smells like cat food". What is this an anagram of? It is driving me mad trying to work it out. Also, half way through the episode he Ralph also says "My cat's name is Mittens", does this mean anything?

It just seems very strange that Alison and Lisa are talking about the anagrams and Ralph is looking straight at the screen, talking to viewer.

I don't know the answer, but if you go to www.oneacross.com and click on the anagrams tab, you can input that phrase and it comes up with dozens of options.
I tried it, but none of the phrases it came up with meant anything to me.
There's a complete breakdown of the episode here:

They aired this episode in the UK yesterday...to be honest i don't think it is an anagram at all.
the whole reason why Ralph said that was to point out to us the viewers that he has no sense and changes the subject because he cant answer the question.
i think you are over analysing this way too much...but if it is really bothering you then write to the makers, haha, and ask them! you never know you may get a reply.

Sorry, I think that you are over analysing.
The character is well noted for coming out with sensless things EG "Miss Hoover, my worm jumped into my mouth and then I ate my worm."

I've watched that episode loads of times but it never occurred to me that it could mean anything. I don't think it's meant to mean anything.

Try here... you may be able to put the phrase in and they will convert it for you?
