What is the word origin for copycat?

Answer 1

I've read that it's because kittens copy their mothers. Maybe that's true, but we adopted our cat and as he settled in, he used to sit in the living room and watch people, then copy their actions to fit in. My fondest memory is of him loungingin the corner of the sofa on his tail, with one paw on the arm, and one on the cushion next to him, staring intently at whoever was speaking at the time. Definitely a copy cat.......but maybe that's just coincidence.

Answer 2

The film Copycat was written by Ann Biderman, and David Madsen. It is a fictional story, with elements gathered from current events. Biderman is an American Writer. It was filmed on location in San Francisco, California and was produced by American companies.

All great stories originate in people's imaginations.
