Science fiction, fantasy, mystery and what-not
Infloofential (catfinition) – a feline exerting or possessing influence
In use: “He was in a hurry – as usual, believing in a wait and then hurry-up approach to getting things done – when the infloofential Quinn called a meow and floof-flopped at his feet, diverting his stream of activity into other things, like petting and talking to the cat.”
You ever think, what if humans had tails that stuck out of our clothing? Ever think about how our tails might form our self-image and be part of our cultural landscape, or how your tail would appear? Can you imagine how our tails might give us away by their aspect?
“He said he wasn’t interested in her, but that’s not what his tail said. It was straight up.”
Delecat (catfinition) – to entrust a feline with a duty or responsibility.
In use: “In retrospect, he was foolish to think Princess was the best delecat for mousing, as she preferred companionship to hunting.”
Ever read a news article, like the one from the other day, when a thirty pound tumor was removed from a sixty-something year-old man, and think, hey, I wonder if that’s what’s wrong with me?
No? Just me, then?
(As an aside, I realized this could be tagged as tumor humor.)
Floofitude (catfinition) – the quality of being a cat
In use: “She wasn’t a large cat but her floofitude, demonstrated by her inquisitive manners, loud voice, and mighty hunting skills, expanded her presence and amplified her impact.”
I thought about having a cup of virtual coffee today, but I wasn’t sure that the virtual caffeine would give me the virtual lift I needed. On the plus side, I could think of virtually no health risks to virtual coffee. It came out to be a virtual tie with drinking real coffee, until it came to the taste. Virtual coffee has virtually no flavor.
Floof-flop (catfinition) – a cat who likes to flop down on a surface and presents its belly (which isn’t always an invitation to a belly rub); an acrobatic feline move involving dropping to a surface, flipping over, and sometimes stretching.
In use: “Quinn was a natural floof-flop, and did so whenever he had a chance to interact with people he trusted.”
“I’m not really a morning person,” the first said with an air of contrition.
The second said, “But you’re not really a night person, either.”
The third said, “It sounds like you’re a middle-of-the-day person.”
“Yes,” the first said with a smile, “but it’s a very small window.”
Floofster Sunday (catfinition) – a holiday celebrating cats, normally observed on the first Sunday in April.
In use: “For Floofster Sunday, he filled small cloth mice and birds with catnip and treats, and then hid them around the house for the cats to find.”
Floofilous (catfinition) – of or involving cats.
In use: “His was a floofilous life, a mobious band of feeding cats, cleaning after them, and cuddling with them, taking comfort, and giving some back.”
