a cat wearing a dog costume, running the whole woodland con

means A small, sharp-faced wild member of the dog family known for its cunning, bushy tail, and reddish coat; or, as a verb, to outwit or baffle someone.

from From Old English 'fox,' rooted in a Proto-Germanic word (compare German 'Fuchs' and Dutch 'vos'). It likely traces back further to a Proto-Indo-European root meaning 'tail' — fitting for an animal whose most famous feature is the brush behind it. The sense of 'fox' as 'to deceive' grew straight from the animal's age-old reputation for craftiness, a reputation cemented by centuries of folklore in which the fox is the clever trickster of the woods.
