This is such a revelation, to know that so many other people become complete loonies around their kitties and talk "kitty talk" at them. My mom was the inspiration for a lot of the words I use to refer to kitty things - she adored every cat we ever had. One of her words was "hoo-ing", which is when the kitty smells something exceptionally stinky and then holds his mouth open to savor it. She also referred to a"winkie" bath as "making a flagpole". (Meaning the kitty's back leg, not his winkie!) The precious gems the kitties left in the litter box were referred to as "Heyday Cookies". I don't know if they even make those cookies anymore, but they were like sugar wafers covered in caramel and chocolate, and then rolled in nuts. So the poopies covered with the old-fashioned clay litter looked just like those cookies. And one of my all-time favorites refers to the beautiful rows of dots on the kitty's muzzle where the whiskers come out - she called these "piecrust holes", because it looked like how you would prick a piecrust with a fork before you bake it. "Airplane ears" were mad kitty ears laying flat, like airplane wings.
"Needle-y teeth" are the tiny little teeth between the fangs.
And a scared kitty tail was a "bottle brush".

My, how I do go on! Oh well, kitties are one of my favorite topics!
