look what the cat dragged in

Cats are known for bringing dead mice/rats/birds and other vermin they may have found or killed in to their owner's home.

Upon meeting someone who is disliked, by using this phrase you imply that they are the vermin mentioned above.

(Upon meeting an ex-boyfriend at a party)
"Well well! Look what the cat dragged in!"
