The picture was taken by me on the wall at the hospital. Here's some cat's sayings: The cat has your tongue. Raining cats and dogs. A cat has nine lives. Cat nap. The cat's meow. Curiosity killed the cat. I am sure there are more but I can not think of any more.

I shall check the meaning of The cat has your tongue. By the way, here we also think cats have nine lives

Catty behavior, catty- or kitty-corner, no/not enough room to swing a cat (though I don't know why anyone would want to)...

I had a cryptic crossword clue once which was just 'cat-killer' and the answer was 'curiosity'.

I always liked the second part of curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction bore him back.

I'm all for taking "cat naps." Here is a couple more "fraidy cat," "there's more than one way to skin a cat." And of course, The Cat in the Hat.

My cats enjoyed all of Dr Seuss books. There is a part two of that book. The cat in the hat comes back.

"Look what the cat dragged in," is another. Certain types of burglars have been called, "Cat burglars" too, and they steal more than just cats.

I think there so many sayings, about the cat, like they think they are the boss and humans are their servants.
