I would have thought that The CatSite would have a cat dictionary of terms that cat owners use when talking about their cats and cat behaviors but, I searched and didn't find one. I even Googled and didn't find very many websites that have cat lexicon.
Here are a few words from my cat dictionary:
• Zips (noun) - A sudden burst of frenzied activity that causes a cat to run in circles, all around the house.
(Also known as "Zooms" "Rips" "Zoomies" "Crazies", etc.)
"I didn't get a wink of sleep, last night, because Kitty got a case of the zips at 3:00 a.m."
• Murr (noun) - The sound a cat makes that is half way between a "meor" and a "purr."
"Kitty murrs at me whenever she sees me get her cat treats down from the shelf."
• Cat Lock (noun/verb) - When your cat is lying on you or sitting on your lap and you can't stand up from the sofa or get out of bed in the morning without disturbing the cat.
"I couldn't answer the phone because I was cat locked on the sofa."
"I was almost late for work this morning because Kitty cat locked me in bed."
• Making Biscuits (verb) - The kneading motion a cat makes with her front paws when she's happy or cozy.
"Kitty wakes me up every morning when she makes biscuits on my tummy."
So... I'm wondering... What words are in your cat dictionary?
