CAT-TIONARY
Forget those "human" pet books that attempt to explain the meaning of cats. To find out what your kitty is really about, you need a "pussycat primer", a "tabby tell-all", a "feline for foreigners" - in other words, a "Cat-tionary."
These closely guarded terms (cats don't want humans to know everything), have recently been made available to the cat-owning public.
We wanted to share them with you!
Catacomb: Grooming device for Kitty. Good for removing cat-a-mats.
Catapult: What happens when the catacomb gets caught in the cat-a-mats.
Catnip: What Kitty will give you if you "pull" too hard with the catacomb.
Catamount: Any perch in the house, higher than a human's head.
Catcall: Signaling device used to open doors, fill food bowls and receive undivided attention.
Catty-corner: A good place to keep the litter box.
Caterwaul: What sometimes gets hit instead of the litter box.
Catkin: The results of an unaltered cat.
Cat's Cradle: Where Kitty sleeps, such as any bed, sofa, or other warm, comfy spot in the house.
Catwalk: Kitty's daily exercise routine, consists of short trips to the food bowl (with occasional detours
to the catty-corner).
Catalog: Useful outdoor scratching post.
Catalyst: Litter, cat food, treats, toys, etc. What humans use to shop for Kitty with.
Catgut: Essential internal part of the cat, requires filling on an hourly basis.
Catsup: Mealtime. It fills the catgut.
Catnap: What cats do when they are not catsupping.
Category: The icky stuff that Kitty leaves on the porch step after eating the outside of a mouse.
Caterpillar: The lady in the white coat who says, "Now swallow the medicine like a good Kitty."
Catalyze: What Kitty tells you when you find the broken vase. "Meow - it was the dog, I swear it!"
Cataract: What the house looks like if you leave Kitty alone for too long.
Catatonic: What humans drink after seeing the house.
Catastrophe: An award Kitty receives for having the most beautiful behind.
Catfish: What Kitty does in your aquarium.
