Box Ballistic: The incredible joy that some cats seem to express right after they poop in their litter box. They come screaming out of there no less than 100 mph only to come to a complete stop for a few seconds in pounce mode with crazed eyes and fluffed tail before they launch themselves on something worthy of attacking! Good times!
Thankfully people do not react the same way after using the restroom! LOL
Yikes! Can you imagine?!? :eek:
Purrcles: combination of Purring and doing circles when yummy things are being dished up for dinnies!
Pocket Launcher: The act off rocketing of a human's lap in an instant when a cat is completely freaked out by an invisible intruder (usually causing mild lacerations to the human in the process).
Thank you Emeraldgreen for the newest submission!

Sometimes the "lap fungus" can spread to your chest and shoulders:
<img src="http://www.geocities.com/[email protected]/fungus1.JPG">
"Monkey toes" - somewhat like turkey toes, but it's when a kitty is using the back toes to hang on to a window ledge or similar skinny place, the way monkeys use their feet like hands!
<img src="http://www.geocities.com/[email protected]/toes.jpg">
"Making a flagpole" is what their back leg does when they are washing their nether regions.
"Heavy head" - when a kitten is playing and all of a sudden, their head just flops over and they fall asleep.

<img src="http://www.geocities.com/[email protected]/CB3.jpg">
"Digging for buried treasure" - cleaning the litter box.
"Crime scene" - pretty much anywhere the cats have been when you're not home ;) , with obvious evidence.
<img src="http://www.geocities.com/[email protected]/badkitty.JPG">

My late mom had some of the best kitty terms:
"Hoo-ing", which is when a kitty smells something extra stinky or good, and then holds his mouth open to savor it. (I have never caught a picture of this.)
"Zooming" for when a kitty is on his side, stretched as far as he/she can stretch, and curved backward. (Like Elast-O-Cat)
<img src="http://members.aol.com/myerssh61/zoom.jpg">
"Pie crust holes" ! The neat lines of dots on a kitty's muzzle where the whiskers come out - back in the old days they used a fork to prick holes in the bottom of a pie crust in neat rows so that's where Mom got it from.
<img src="http://members.aol.com/myerssh61/PCH.jpg">
"Griffying", when a cat is on his/her back or side, and uses their claws to pull/propel themselves along the edge of a couch. I've never seen my kitties do this, but I remember the kitties we had when I was a kid would do this constantly, to the point of wrecking the bottom ruffle of the couch! I saw an example of this in a YouTube video and it cracked me up - watch for the kitty with the big round cushion on the floor. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wvo-g_JvURI&NR=1
"Needle-y teeth" - the very tiny almost invisible teeth between the main fangs. (Yes, my dumba** kitty is chewing on my sewing machine)
