The idiom "cat got your tongue" is believed to have emerged in the early 20th century and may be related to the idea that a cat's tongue is rough, which could symbolize difficulty in speaking or reluctance to do so. It is used to describe a situation where someone is unusually silent or unable to speak, often when they are expected to respond or provide an answer.
