You have to look back to the 1920's when the phrase was first used.A "cat" was used as a term to describe the "wild and unconventional" some of the time - flappers.

This was matched with the word pyjamas At that time they were anew twist in women's fashion.

The total phrase came to mean "isn't that a example of the newest thing worn by the most sophisticated and fun loving people" withe impplicationof "Wish I had the nerve to follow suit"

The phrase was tuned bit by using she's, he's or it's
