Catspot
Every feline is familiar with the legendary catspot. The catspot is the best locality for snoozing off the catnip in comfort. They can change with seasons and the sun’s angle, furniture arrangements, and visitors, but one will always be found and designated. Humans eventually find them, too, telling themselves, “I haven’t seen Jade all day. I wonder if she’s in a catspot?” Then they walk around the house, trying to think like a cat, to see where they’re sleeping.
Catsanova
A catsanova is an unusually seductive and loving feline of either sex, working its wiles on people and other animals equally.
Catplicity
Catplicity is a wrongful act by one or more felines. Mind you, it’s probably acceptable in the cat’s purrview, but these actions often antagonize people sharing the home with the cats. Such actions can include willfully knocking items like jewelry, pills, and pens to the floor, tipping over glasses of water, or stealing food.
Catedge
A catedge is an extremely slender cat, one that appears so thin, they seem to be flat and one-dimensional. It’s said that their structure allows catedges to walk through cracks in time and space, so they can appear almost anywhere, at anytime. They’re often ginger, tabby, or black and white, and will awe you with their graceful jumping and walking.
