A somewhat niche but important Finnish sentence: "Nyt on liikaa kissoja pöydällä!"
It translates to: "Now there are too many cats on the table!"
And what it means is that I can't see or reach things, because there's too many cats on the table.

The original saying goes "laitetaan kissa pöydälle" and means let's put the cat on the table, to inspect and closely look at something that usually isn't inspected or closely looked at, often because it's either ignored, commonplace or difficult to look at.

it is possible that the table is too small to accommodate the right number of cats, however :D
