Euphemism: "The Cat's Ass"

Factual Questions
1

Anyone here have an idea where the saying:

“That would be the Cat’s Ass” and the like came from?

I’ve seen a few feline rear ends, and never discerned anything remarkable about them.

I would like to know where this saying originated.

Try searching in GQ for a thread using “meow” as your search word. You should get back at least on thread where we discussed this before. There were many sayings around 1910-20 which called things “the cats meow” “the cats ass” and so forth. JUst a fad at the time.
