All about Cats

Cats are the most  popular  pets among  Americans.  So it is not surprising that there  are many  expressions about cats. Some cats  like to catch small birds, like canaries. If someone looks very proud  or satisfied with himself, we say he “looks  like the cat that ate the canary.”
