Because cats stick their little noses into everything. They love to explore and discover and can get themselves into some dangerous situations just to see what's there.

because cats always seem more "on the ball" than your average drooling dog. they also seem a lot smarter. And when you throw a ball to your dog, he just attacks it and brings it back, but a cat goes and investigates. Plus it rhymes better, you know, Curiosity Cat

i think its because of a cats face. A dog looks like he is happy all the time, with its tongue out all the time. A cat, if you take a good stare at its face looks like its currious. Thats my opining.

Cats love to get into things, like the undercarriage of cars for instance.

it might be a way of slagging off at females because your vagina is called a miaow
men don't get pregnant, so if a female is too curious about sex her life will get "killed" by being lumbered with a baby.
something like that...

because not all people like cats and the guy who thought up that phrase was probably a jerk

Because it is alliterative.
