YT2095 Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 nope but there`s a second line IIRC, "Curiosity killed the cat, satisfaction brought him back" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h4tt3n Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 I Denmark we say "Curiosity killed the blacksmiths cat" - it doesn't take a lot of imagiation to come up with a few nasty ways that might've happened! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phi for All Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Shakespeare, Marlowe and Johnson all wrote about "care" killing cats, where care is meant to be worry or anxiety about something. It probably morphed from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KLB Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 I don't know about couriosity killing the cat, but I do know about one cat that has a mighty high opinion of its own abilities to deal with intruders: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060611/ap_on_fe_st/cat_scares_bear;_ylt=Aq370dnWtD2LEvcjOIUwDm.s0NUE;_ylu=X3oDMTA3NW1oMDRpBHNlYwM3NTc- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mokele Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 YT, the correct line is "Curiousity killed the cat, but I have more hit points than a cat." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimbaLanD Posted June 13, 2006 Author Share Posted June 13, 2006 I have heard a lot of people use the old saying!! We basically know that curiosity killed the cat but do we know how it got killed? We should investigate!!! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
