Cats in Literature

 Cats are found in literature more often than not.  Just like the stealthy creatures themselves, they hide in the words.   For instance, look at the following definitions of words found in literature:

Catatonic – a tonic for cats, often made of fish, birds, or mice.  If taken properly, it puts them into a state of complete bliss, where  they are almost sleeping but just lay there with their eyes open a slit, in a trance like state.

Catastrophe – a trophy for the best looking cat bottom ( or at least the most licked)

Cataract – Cats ‘re acting most of the time.  They pretend to be asleep when they are really spying on us.  Ever seen them with their eyes open only a slit, completely motionless?  That’s them acting.

Catbird – That is almost a sentence.  Cat catch bird for dinner.

Catechu – What a cat says when it sneezes. 

Caterpillar – A post shaped like a cat.

Catkin – like a lion, a tiger, and a jaguar.  These are all kin to a cat.

Catsup – dinner for a cat.

Catfish – cat fish for dinner.  Cat get fish.  Bones left over.  Maybe.

Catheter – cat theater - where cats watch movies of Ralph S Mouse or Tom and Jerry.

Catch – what a cat does to a mouse

Catnap- sleep all day and play loudly all night

Catnip – what the cat does with her teeth when she is playing or angry

Catgut- inside organs of cat

Cathargic- short for cat is lethargic, often during the daytime

Category – Cat is a mess from hunting and gorging all night

Catalog – a written diary of what cat does all day

Catalina – cat has been dieting

Cattle – short for cat is little

Literature – a potty place for cats at your house.

The next time you are reading, look for the cat in the literature, and then clean up the box.  Cats don’t like a dirty litter box.  And it’s easier to read.
