Offended By "Cat" ?

[Yoyoma1910]

2. Let the cat out of the sack.
Clear reference to the first, but this time you disclose a secret or something that should not have been told. Or the tale you told can't be retrieved, "the damage is done" so to speak.

"Who let the cat out the bag?"

I always thought it was in reference to that it would be rather hard to get a cat back into a sack once it's gotten out. Unless that cat be declawed.



And what of the black cats that might cross ones path?


Also, brothels can be referred to as "Cat Houses."

First thing I thought of was "cool cat" and "hepcat", and the later 70's version, just plain old "cat". Those are certainly not negative.

Here CAT can mean; the Central Arizona Tradition. All very prehistoric, of course.
