To describe something that you do or do not want to do. This expression is used to describe a difficult situation. You can imagine being in a phone booth which is an enclosed, small space. Trying to sand-paper a wild cat's ass would be difficult in this small space. They may scratch and attack you. This is not a situation you want to find yourself in.
