Have you ever hear of Pigs flying?
In English, the phrase 'when pigs fly' refers to something so impossible, that it is like pigs flying: e.g You will get my agreement on this subject when pigs fly.
When do your hands turn red? When you are caught red handed! Which means you are caught in the process of doing something that is forbidden!
Just suppose that you have been caught red handed and are very embarrassed , and do not know what to say to the person who caught you, he/she could ask you "The cat got your tongue?" which means " Are you unable to reply because a cat ate up your tongue?"
Of course, like all idioms, this is not at all likely , in case your imagination is running riot with bizarre mental images.
Bye for now!
