To fight like Kilkenny cats oznacza toczyć zawziętą, nieustępliwą walkę.
Koty z irlandzkiej miejscowości Kilkenny tak się biły, że zostały po nich tylko pazurki i koniuszki ogonów.
There once were two cats of Kilkenny,
Each thought there was one cat too many,
So they fought and they fit,
And they scratched and they bit,
Till, excepting their nails
And the tips of their tails,
Instead of two cats, there weren't any.
Kilkenny leży na południowym wschodzie Irlandii, nad rzeką Nore .
