The Cheshire Cat appears in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, but the phrase 'grin like a Cheshire Cat' does not appear in that book, nor is it the origin of the term. That phrase first appears in print in the second edition of Francis Grose's Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue, from 1778:
Cheshire Cat: He grins like a Cheshire cat; said of any one who shows his teeth and gums in laughing.
Lewis Carroll's cat is based on the term, not the other way around.
