PT words that make you smile

[catmandu]

Personally, it is the Pet Talkers , that send Movies of Thier Fur Babies, as that is still a miracle to me , that you can do this! Amazing , to see these Cats , and see them having FUN!

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

OOohhh, Catmandu, you gave me an idea. Maybe I could take a little video of Tubby making his little pee-biscuits! I know at least one PTer that would really appreciate and I don't want to mention any names, but she's got a big orange fluffy kitty and two small gray and white kitties.

Then again, maybe I won't make that video.......

nibblets added the word of "kitty cakes" for the same product

[nibblets]

I've called them 'kitty cakes' since we got Julie...but when I saw 'pee biscuits'.. I knew exactly what she meant.

My favorite phrases have to be 'meatloaf' and 'tortellini'. They are such perfect descriptions!

Very funny Deb - BUT ...guilty as charged This IS a funny thread - went all through it and had some good laughs. I have been here less than a year but most of the terms are pretty common by now. A collection follows:


ape s**t - as in "going ape s**t -episode of completely losing it and racing around the house at top speed (see squeak freak) and * below

airplane ears (yoda ears at my house) - those funny pulled back ears that show kitty is NOT very happy!

brushtomer: this is someone waiting on the brushing table for his daily brushing and massage

bundle foot - aka 'tortellini with a stem' - curled up posture in which all four paws are extended and neatly stacked

buttbath - just the essentials

bits, cookies, equipment - testicles

cat Pilates - essentially any pretzel type posture that usually involves cleaning hard to reach areas

cattitude - what cats have

cat fit - see* below

clingon - those little hangers that don't seem to make it into the litter box

dingle, dingleberry - see 'clingon' above

doily kitty - long haired kitty gracefully draped - usually on the back of a sofa

elevator butt - touch butt/will rise -who knows why they do this??

fluffy - a euphemism for ...uh...well...plush

flyby - racing through room at top speed for no apparent reason, often a group activity in multiple kitty homes, see *below

forever or furrever home (love this one!) - a real home that all kitties deserve

full sweep - this is the extreme affectionate gesture - beginning with a headbumpie, followed by a tooth rub, full body sweep and topped off with the one eyed salute.

furrkid and skinkid - self explanatory unless you have a hairy skinkid I guess

grandmeowmie - a cat mommy or cat daddy's mommy, of course

happy feet: same as making biscuits. Or disco feet for the cat still stuck in the '70's.

headbumpies - bumping heads - a sign of affection

hooman - a cat mommy or daddy with skin on

huffing - sniffing freshly licked and sunwarmed kitty fur

kitty cakes - same as pee biscuits, only larger *edited

kitty kisses - that sleepy looking blink of the eyes that sends a "kiss"

lap fungus - a kitty growth on your lap!! AH!!

making bread or making biscuits - that cute kneading motion the kitties make with their paws when they are contented

meatloaf or loaf of bread (for vegetarians ) paws tucked in, also known as parade float pose

meowmie - a cat mommy

muffin - aka 'lovemuffin', a sweet, affectionate kitty

one eye salute: that's when they get up in your face, giving you lots of love and kisses and head bumps and suddenly present the other end, tail raised to attention, for close inspection. You just got the one-eye salute

pee biscuits - clump of pee in the catbox

pip-flip: jumping and flipping off the wall.

plush - see fluffy

projectile pee - when you can hear the pee hit the side of the box and trickle down. Eeeeeewwwwwww.....

PT'er - an addiction, quite harmless, you probably are one if you are reading this, go huff your furrkid

Richard - aka RICHARD!!! easily amused and most amusing PT'er, known for pithy comments and wry humor

RB or Rainbow Bridge - where our kitties go to wait for us when they are done on earth

scooterbug - litle baby kitties scooting around!!

scritches - essentially a scratch - but obviously better because it must also scratch an itch and feels SOOO good to kitty

squeak freak: episode of completely losing it and racing around the house at top speed. (similar to ape s**t above) but involves a loud squeaking noise, I believe. also see * below

tea-cozy: similar to meatloaf pose, but on the kitchen counter where one would have a tea cozy cover for your tea pot!

tits-up : that's when they are lying upside down with full belly exposed

toe jammin': same as toe crunching. Basically working on that toe jam between the toes!

tortitude - what tortie cats have an extra dose of cattitude

tortellini - the round curled up posture my cats cannot do because they are too fluffy

toothrubs - when kitty rubs his cheeks on you to mark and you get jabbed by a tooth!

velcro kitty - lovey-dovey attached kitty - often when the hooman has been gone awhile

white coats - vet

wideload - rear view of a plush meatloaf

*catfit - this one seems to have many variations. collectively, it involves an episode of completely losing it and racing through rooms at top speed for no apparent reason, often a group activity in multiple kitty homes. It is aka storm of the Mongole hordes, herd of turtles, squeak freak, flyby and going ape s**t.

SORRY IF I MISSED ANY!!!

lots more I am sure!!!

Are there words for the following?:

that pat-pat of the paws when you are sweet talking to kitty

when kitty grabs you with sweet paws and holds on to you to keep you near a little longer

[nibblets]

a kitty cake and a pee biscuit are identical. I started calling them kitty cakes, because they were roughly the same size and shape of Little Debbie snack cakes.

[Barbara]

Sirrahbed, are you a dictionary editor! When I looked at the thread again I thought someone should make a list out of these words and here it is- with proper definitions!!!!

Thank you!

[rkidsrcats]

We spent the last 20 minutes reading and laughing through this thread. Amazing how these little furry creatures worm their way into our hearts and our vocabulary so quickly!

We too have learned some new phrases at PT, and we have some to add:

Tits-up : that's when they are lying upside down with full belly exposed (my husband's term...military origin I think!)

Tea-cozy: similar to meatloaf pose, but on the kitchen counter where one would have a tea cozy cover for your tea pot! Remember the toaster covers that looked like cows, chickens...etc?

Pip-flip: jumping and flipping off the wall.

Squeak Freak: episode of completely losing it and racing around the house at top speed. Often preceeded by squeaky chirpy noises to let everyone know a squeak freak is coming on!

Woobie: Fiona's favorite soft doggie toys. Often there is a woobie graveyard in the back where they have been left out all week. Favorite woobies NEVER get washed! She also knows what "get your woobie" means.

Toe Jammin': same as toe crunching. Basically working on that toe jam between the toes!

Brushtomer: this is someone waiting on the brushing table for his daily brushing and massage.

Happy feet: same as making biscuits. Or disco feet for the cat still stuck in the '70's.

Poop Doggy Dog: Fiona's moniker when she gets into the cat boxes (why do they do that????)

One eye salute: that's when they get up in your face, giving you lots of love and kisses and head bumps and suddenly present the other end, tail raised to attention, for close inspection. You just got the one-eye salute.

Mitzi does this to me with her big white mitts - I call it her kitty high-five as most of the time she doesn't touch me - she just paws at the air. It's SO cute!

[tuxluvr]

Ritzy is modeling another term we call

"bundle foot" (or tortellini with a stem)

and of course, along with
catitude
calitude and tortietude,.....we must include the tudiest of all tudes

TUXIETUDE!

[Barbara]

rkidsrcats: the one eye salute!!!! How well I know that!

You created some really funny ones

[tuxluvr]

And if I may be so blunt...we call those little hangers that don't don't seem to make it into the litter box dingleberries OR clingons

Thanks for the laughs, guys!! [/color] [/B]

We brush Ritz regularly, sometimes we must attend to the "dingles" that she occasionally leaves - we refer to the overall business of brushing as "kee kee brush"...and the generalized removal of dingles as

"getting the fluffybutt treatment"

[lbaker]

What's every bit as amazing is how so many of the same current PetTalkers are still here, still posting, and still have the same lovely unique (to non-pet people maybe) way of expressing things. PetTalkaholic is a term that comes to mind *guilty as charged*

And that is the most adorable "bundle foot" I've ever seen!

Ok, Nomilyn just came up with another one.

Projectile Pee - when you can hear the pee hit the side of the box and trickle down. Eeeeeewwwwwww.....
