Cat Got Your Tongue?

     When someone asks you, "Cat got your tongue?" they are asking  you why you are not saying anything.  Perhaps you should respond to them.

A Scaredy Cat

     A "scaredy cat" is someone who is frightened when there is no reason to be.  I would venture to say that if you live in the United States, you have heard the phrase. You have probably heard it more than once. It is especially used by children.  "Don't be such a scaredy cat!"

Upcoming in future weeks, I will be contemplating more cat phrases.

The cat has certainly left his mark on our daily use of language!
