Science fiction, fantasy, mystery and what-not
Flooftif (catfinition) – a salient artistic theme centered on depictions of felines, also known as cattif.
In use: “The many statues, paintings, and ceramic of cats provides the stereotypical flooftif of a cat-love, but this isn’t a facade; she genuinely loves cats, and they love her.”
Refloofestation (catfinition) – to refill a home with cats and floofenalia.
In use: “After his beloved Blur died, he swore, “No more cats,” but Princess arrived, and refloofestation began.”
SUT (catfinition) – web slang to refer to a cat who walks, runs, and stands with a straight-up tail (SUT).
In use: “Except when encountering another cat, Papi is a galloping SUT.”
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.”
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.”
