(Put) the cat among the pigeons is an idiom meaning "to cause alarm". It's quite common here.


Build a man a fire and he's warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he's warm for the rest of his life.

Ah. Makes sense when one envisions a cat coming upon a group of pigeons.

Americans, have you heard it?
