It's a similie, because it compares something to something else.
"My cat stood as still as a statue" means that it was like (or similar to) a statue.
You could have a metaphor that use the same imagery. So
"The instant it saw the mouse, my cat became a statue." This does not imply that the cat actually transformed into a statue, but it uses the metaphor of an unmoving thing to put an image into your head.
