Science fiction, fantasy, mystery and what-not
Geocatric (Catfinition): A household arranged or organized around cat activities.
In Use: “The home’s geocatric arrangment required food and water bowls in several rooms and behind closed doors to minimize angry feline confrontations along the lines of, “Someone’s been eating in my bowl.””
Fleep (Catfinition): to sweep up items with fur.
Fleeper (Catfinition): A cat with fur that seems to sweep up matter and carry it in and around the house; a cat that appears to generate and drop foreign matter from its fur.
In Use: “One cat is long-haired, one has mixed-length fur, and the third is a short-hair, but the three fleep bark, twigs, and leaves with their fur, carrying the debris into the house, and depositing it in random piles.”
Exascatrate (Catfinition): Irritating feline behavior; a feline whose behavior irritates others.
In Use: “Jade exascatrated us for revenge by going to her litter box, and flinging all the litter out of her box.”
Defurestation (Catfinition): A policy of attempting to remove all shed cat fur from every possible service. Pro-defurestation camps and con-defurestation factions have strongly held opinions about the value of defurestation. Con-defurestation fans advocate that trying to remove all cat fur is senseless, that cat fur on clothing and furniture, or in food, is an acceptable risk for bonding with a cat. Pro-defurestation people say, “Bullshit to all that.”
Catasy (Catfinition): felines’ imaginary worlds, although such worlds often include real people, locations, and events that become embellished with the cat’s personal perspective.
In Use: “The cats were restricted to the house during the fireworks, to help them stay safe and feel safer. However, they soon developed catasies about being captured by evil creatures who were unjustly imprisoning them. With these catasies as a fount for their energy, they soon began hunting escape routes.”
Becatted (Catfinition): enchanted by a feline; under a feline’s spell.
In Use: “She knew it was time to get up, dress and rush to work, but Flash was cozy against her. Succumbing to the warm cat’s furry body, she acknowledged, she was becatted. Her will was no longer her own.”
Floort (Catfinition): a flirtatious kitty.
In Use: “Every day, the chubby little gray and white floort with the purple collar would pop-up by Michael’s fence. Sitting down, she regarded him with golden eyes. When she finally saw that she had his attention, she would stand, tail up, and release a song of lament about her starving state that clearly contradicted her physical appearance. Of course, Michael, being the pushover he was, would provide the floort with some chin love and kibble. Satisfied, the little Princess would then return home and resume her snoozing on her people’s front porch.”
There seems to be a law of nature that when I’m watching for a bumper sticker, none will appear. If I forget about them as I’m walking around, I usually spy a few that interest me.
So it was today while walking. This, on a new generation Volkswagen Beetle, gave me a laugh.
“I’m Pro-OPERA, and I VOTE!”
Flooflet (Catfinition): small cat, or kitten.
In Use: “Although the mighty Quinn is over eight years old, the flooflet often looks like a young raccoon, in the right light.”
