pajautā! -

no Anglijas

spekulatīvi spriežot, tur vajadzēja būt kādai tautas pasakai vai fabulai par to, kā kaķis kaut kur līda, kur nevajag un tika nospiests vai nogalināts, taču neatrodu atsauci, ka tāds stāsts būtu

vai tik Kerols nedeva atsauci uz angļu vārdu spēli/teiku

kopš reizes kad kāds ziņkārīgais teicienu "kas lācītim vēderā" sajauca ar "kas kaķītim vēderā". tālāk jau mēs paši zinam :)

The earliest printed reference to the origin of this proverb is attributed to British playwright Ben Jonson in his 1598 play, Every Man in His Humour

tikai tur tas skanēja : care will kill a cat (kur care nozīmēja worry about)

The earliest known printed reference that uses the 'curiosity' form is O. Henry's Schools and Schools, 1909:

"Curiosity can do more things than kill a cat; and if emotions, well recognized as feminine, are inimical to feline life, then jealousy would soon leave the whole world catless."

The earliest version that I have found of the precise current form of the proverb in print is from The Portsmouth Daily Times, March 1915, in a piece headed The Height of Curiosity:

Mother - "Don't ask so many questions, child. Curiosity killed the cat."
Willie - "What did the cat want to know, Mom?"
