Cat Got Your Tongue? (And other interesting cat expressions!)

Party Marty, the observer of all things interesting and comical: You know, I find it fascinating how often dogs and cats are used in famous quotes, such as “It’s raining cats and dogs” or “This is going to the dogs.” In honor of all the cats in the world, and probably in good humor, too, here are a few notable expressions I found online that involve the use of the word cat.

Slicker than cat crap on a linoleum floor

While the cat’s away the mice will play

Look what the cat dragged in

Cat’s pajamas

Curiosity killed the cat

Busy as a cat on a hot tin roof

Has the cat got your tongue?

When the cat’s away, the mice will play

Morals of an alley cat and scruples of a snake

Busier than a one-eyed cat watching two mouse holes

Busier than a three legged cat in a dry sand box

Nervous as a long tailed cat in a living room full of rockers

I don’t know you from Adam’s house cat!

Looking like the cat who swallowed the canary

Cat’s meow

Who let the cat out of the bag?

There’s more than one way to skin a cat
