Why do we ask, "Cat got your tongue?" I haven't seen a cat get anybody's tongue. Sure, we all know about cats who try to drink milk out of babies' mouths--never saw one horrors!, but have heard about it in old wives' tales.
But cats getting people's tongues? That just doesn't make any sense to me.
Don't let the cat get your tongue on this one. I would really appreciate some edification here.
