Cat's fur for kitten's britches.

My Grandmother used this phrase whenever she didn't want us to know what something was.

Example: What am I getting for Christmas? Her answer was "Cat's fur for kitten's britches." meaning none of your business. Grandmom was born in 1905 so it goes back at least that far.
