cat out of the bagThe phrase "letting the cat" out of the bag comes from the time when people used to sell piglets in sacks. People would sometimes stick a cat in there and sell it off pretending it was a pig (stupid fools didn't think to check). Therefore when he got home the consumer would have a nasty suprise - letting the cat out of the bag.
So...your professor was wrong! *smiles smugly*
