American jazz musicians have used the word 'cat' to mean a man. A 'sharp cat', for example, is a man who is dressed in the latest clothing. The great American horn player Louis Armstrong used the expression this way many years ago. Armstrong said: ¡®I had on a new cowboy hat. A fine black suit. And new shiny leather shoes. I was a sharp cat.¡¯
