    Cat tap: cat gently and repeatedly taps any object, hooman or fur-sibling to get the attention they rightly deserve.

    Ginger kitty: see orange tabby and orangie; usually have swirl, mackerel, striped or other tabby markings. Cassiesmom is a huge fan of ginger kitties, orangies, creamsicle kitties.

    Creamsicle kitty: variant of ginger kitty that I can't even describe. Help, cat people!
