    If it's the same...uh...catsuit that I'm thinking of...it probably got its name because of it's sleek and seductive look...


    Here are some more phrases...
    Another breed of cat - something different from anything else

    Someone mentioned Catcalls - Booing bad acting
    The expression goes back to the theatre of Shakespear's time, when men criticized the acting by making noises that sounded like a fence full of cats.

    That kind of goes along with Caterwauling / cat's melody - Making harsh noises or cries
    Probably came from Shakespeare's play Twelfth Night: “What a caterwauling do you keep here!”

    Cat's eye (was also mentioned) - Precious or semi-precious gems that have a changing luster; also road markers which reflect car lights (invented by Englishman Percy Shaw)
    Refers to the coloring similar to a cat's and to the reflecting of light in a cat's eyes

    ------------------
    "In a cat's eye, all things belong to cats." - English proverb

    The cat who got the cream, looking pleased with yourself
