<P> By 15 May 1924, the proverb appears to have been well known, as this quote from The Jewell Record newspaper (page 3) indicates: </P> <P> Come May 19th and 21st and see this puzzle completed . As the saying goes "Curiosity killed a cat, satisfaction brought it back ." </P> <P> The album New Values (1979) by Iggy Pop contains the song "Curiosity" written by Iggy Pop and Scott Thurston . The song includes the following lines: </P> <P> Curiosity killed the cat But satisfaction brought it back In terms of this cat, as a matter of fact I'll meet you at the old mouse hole I'll meet you at the old mouse hole </P>

Who said curiosity killed the cat but satisfaction brought it back
