  Hi Sylvia,

"cool cat" is an American slang term for a person considered suave and sophisticated; up-to-date and in fashion; stylish, excellent; or rad (radical). It has it's origins in the 1920s and has adapted to changing times.

I used it because the insect appeared to be wearing sunglasses, like a "cool cat" jazz musician or jazz devotee of the 1950s.
