Cat Herding

I bumped into a funny adjective today, cat-herding. After some intensive searches, I found its derivation on Wikitionary. The phrase implies an impossible task, because everyone knows what impossibly individual creatures cats are, and getting them to do anything en masse is not something easily done.

Real life example: "That is about as fun as herding cats!"

Clear?
