Cat Dictionary
Welcome to the Cat Dictionary, a humorous
collection of terms relating to our favourite companion, the cat. This page
is dedicated to Charlie Cat, Dinah, Kita, Molly, Oscar, Puff, Ralph, Rama,
Shadow, Tigger, Turkey Grunt, and all the others, without whom life would
have been a lot less interesting.
The Cat Dictionary was written during the
summer of 1995 as a gift for my husband-to-be and as a way to pass the time
during my chemotherapy sessions. It went online in October of that year.
Sadly, person or persons unknown pirated this first edition of the
Cat Dictionary shortly after it appeared on
the World Wide Web, removed my name and copyright notice, and posted it to
various newsgroups. As a result, a number of (quite innocent!) third
parties have put their copies of the
Cat Dictionary online, not knowing that it
had been stolen. My thanks to those who have deleted their versions of
the Cat Dictionary after I contacted them.
