Letting the Cat out of the Bag

I have complained a little before about people stating the obvious. But since I apparently like to complain, I’ll mention it again.

My eyes are a somewhat odd green-hazel-yellow color. I can’t even count the number of times someone has looked at me in shock and said, “Your eyes are yellowish! You look like a cat!”

If only someone could come up with a fresh metaphor! Or if only people didn’t have to point out things that surely, in the course of the decades I’ve been alive, I’ve noticed. It’s not news to me that I have unusual, cat-like eyes; no one’s letting the cat out of the bag, so to speak.
