The expression "cat got your Tongue" comes from the English sailing ship days, and refers to the cat of nine tails, if the captain or other officer told someone something in secrecy he would 'get the cat' if he was to tell the others, naturally if the others wanted to know what had been said they would ask, tell us, or are you afraid!!! ..I.e. has the cat got your tongue!

∙ 14y agowhen a cat took a mans tongue and left him to die. The incident was so horrifying that they created the saying "cats got your toungue" to remember that unlucky man who lost his tongue to that vicous stray feline. It gives me the creeps when I think about it.
