Catportation

Catportation (catfinition): Cataportation is a system or process by which felines sometimes travel. Whether by magic or advanced feline science and technology, cats have an amazing ability to transport themselves to unusual locations, generally surprising people when they show up. The system seems analogous to organic matter transmitter or teleportation systems featured in human fiction. Many catalogists theorize the ability may be a natural feline skill, perhaps associated with their fur or tail.

The other theory advanced to explain catportation is that cats are masters of quantum mechanics that move through other dimensions.

Mixkers

Mixkers (catfinition): Whiskers of several different colors on a cat, usually black and white, but sometimes with a white whisker that starts black. It’s pretty cool, especially when they’ll crazy-curvy. Quinn doesn’t have such curvy whiskers, but he does have mixkers. I would share of photo of them, but he started rolling around on the carpet when I tried photographing his face. Maybe I’ll try again.

Catweek

Catweek (catfinition): a period of nine days, as recognized and practiced by felines and their catlender.

  • Mewsday
  • Furday
  • Pawsday
  • Purrsday
  • Meowday
  • Clawsday
  • Floofday
  • Whiskerday
  • Tailday

By tradition, felines’ activities are prescribed and dictated by these days, which are set by the phases of the moon, as cats see it. Tailday is the end of the week, Mewsday begins a new week, and Meowday is the middle. By some catventions, felines groom more and shed greater quantity of fur on Floofday, while they’re expected to use their claws more frequently on Clawsday. Furday produces the most hairballs. Pawsday is a day of rest.

Whiskerday is the newest day, replacing Fangday in the more traditional Feral Catlender.
