Is there a figurative translation for "cat got your tongue?" Is there one that's most appropriate to Mexican Spanish? Or should I translate directly?

Well in Mexico
Morderse la lengua= To bite one's tongue
No Se lo sacaran ni con pinzas= Cannot get someone to talk
One translation, although not mexican is:
Le comieron la lengua los ratones= a cat has got your tongue
and a direct translation:
Te ha comido la lengua el gato
One really popular one in Mexico is:
No decir ni pío= To not say a word
