The "cat" in this saying is the cat o nine tails, a nasty whip like the Roman scourge. The whip gets its name from the number of cords that make it up. No one in their right mind would try to swing a real cat.'This room is hardly big enough to swing a cat. '

- Makin’ groceries.
Some places people will go to extremes and be making their own groceries instead of buying them…or so it sounds lol.
- Elevator ain’t going all the way up.

I have swung a real cat by the tail before. I was a kid and he really pissed me off.

All of this tail talk made me think of the phrase “Have a tiger by the tail”.
The fact that you are confessing to that deed is beautiful proof that you have matured since and that you have changed your ways.
I am relieved that you obviously no longer pose a threat to the felines around you.
And I trust you when you claim that the cat you swung as a child really deserved it.
Bless you!

Does "break a leg" count, or is it too specific to one small group of people?pigs were mentioned, but putting lipstick on one?
keep your eyes peeled and pick your brain are a little gruesome. *shudder*
it's for sure an odd thing to wish someone, but i think that one is superstition. or maybe just regular stition, i'm unsure.
I'm referring to actors, although they are often the targets of loan collectors. When one is about to go out on stage, another will say break a leg.
