Cats and dogs are the most popular pets among Americans. So it is not surprising that we can find different sentences about cats in a language book when we learn English.
Unlike dogs, it is difficult to teach cats to do something. Cats are not like sheep or cows that can be moved in a group. So we say a difficult or impossible job is like “herding(放牧) cats”.
Everybody knows cats and mice are “good friends”. Sometimes, a cat likes to play with a small animal it catches, such as a mouse. So if your daughter offers something sweet to her little brother and then takes it away when he reaches for it, you can use "play cat and mouse". What will children do in a classroom when their teacher leaves for a few minutes? They are sure to make as much noise as possible."When the cat's away, the mice will play" has the same meaning.
There are a lot more sayings about cats. Americans might say that something is "the cat's miaow" to describe something that is the best or finest. “A fat car" means a person with lo of money. If you tell about something that is thought to be a secret, we say you “let the cat out of the bag”. If you are not able to speak or answer a question, someone might think 'the cat has got your tongue(舌头)". Also, you may often hear the sentence “Curiously(好奇) killed the cat.” That means caring too much about things that are not your business(与你无关之事) might lead to serious problems.
