You know, you could vary {mIvDaq vIghro' tu'lu'bogh} "the cat located in
the helmet" with {vIghro'Daq mIv tu'lu'bogh} "the helmet located on the
cat" in this children's rhyme to good effect.

SkyBox S7:
DujvamDaq tlhIngan nuH tu'lu'bogh pov law' Hoch pov puS 'ej DujvamDaq
'op SuvwI' tu'lu'bogh po' law' tlhIngan yo' SuvwI' law' po' puS.
It has the best weapons and some of the finest warriors in the Klingon
fleet.
"the Klingon weapons located on this ship..."
"some of the warriors located on this ship..."
Of course, WRT to cats wearing hats - or felinoids wearing helmets - a
simpler solution is shown in S20:
qorDu'Daj tuq 'oS Ha'quj'e' tuQbogh wo'rIv.
The sash that Worf wears is a symbol of his family's house.
Adding {mIv tuQbogh vIghro''e'} "the cat that wears a helmet" and {mIv'e'
tuQbogh vIghro'} "the helmet that the cat wears" to the above would be
quite funny, in fact.
