In this post, we explore the origins of the saying “the cat’s meow,” which appropriately enough, means “something considered to be outstanding” or the “height of excellence.”
This lovely saying was coined by American journalist, boxing authority and cartoonist Thomas Aloysius Dorgan (1877-1929) who signed his cartoons with the acronym ”TAD.” Wikipedia states that he is credited with coining more expressions than anyone else.
He also coined the phrase “the cat’s pajamas” which means the same thing.
Here’s a “Cat’s Meow” sculpture that we thought was really cute, which we found at the Art Institute of Chicago’s online museum shop:
Another expression with the same meaning is “the cat’s whiskers.”
Hey, cat bloggers, you guys are the cat’s meow!

I had a nice long nap after all the turkey I had over the holiday (low five for turkey!)….
And I had a dream I was eating more turkey, but it was really just my paw. - Leo
I am stuffed with turkey, it was soooo good!
I got more turkey than Leo, nah nah nah nah nah nah! - Bambi
(Note: they both got about the same, Bambi just thinks he got more)

This comic Debbie Ridpath Ohi, taken from www.nanowrimo.org shows how smart us cats really are, and how some beans just don’t get it! - Bambi
November has been National Novel Writing month, and sadly I found that I didn’t have enough time to keep up with my word count. The idea is to write a 50,000 word novel in the month of November. Since many great writers were cat lovers (Twain, Hemingway) I’m hoping having Leo & Bambi around will be a good thing! I won’t finish this month, but at least I’ve got one started! - Juli

The humans gave me a way better toy than the fishing pole - a blue ribbon. It was really exciting and I showed the ribbon who’s boss by ripping it to shreds! - Leo

I have many things to complain about (and believe me I voice them every chance I get!) Here’s one: how come my humans don’t buy me toys that actually hold my interest for more than, say, ten seconds?
The string on a bendy pole is captivating for a bit (there was a feather on the end that I didn’t care for so they took if off….even though I normally love feathers, this one was not fun)…
I sadly looked at the string, and then at my human. This wouldn’t do for entertainment at all.
Tut, tut. Do you really expect me to keep playing with this “toy?” I think it’s time to buy me something else.
How exasperating. It’s so hard to find good help.
