It’s not every day you see a cat wearing pajamas...
So how did “the cat’s pajamas” become synonymous with something really great? The phrase took hold in the 1920’s when “cat” became a term used to describe someone super-cool and noteworthy in the jazz scene. Pajamas were a relatively new luxury item and quickly becoming all the rage. By mid-decade, the cat’s pajamas were giving the bee’s knees a run for their money.
If you’re wondering what’s so great about bee’s knees – it’s where their all-important pollen-baskets are located.
