Okay, we have a lot of coined phrases that have to do with our furry owners.
I can't think of all of them; I'm trying to get a grip on the list.  Help
me, please!

Upside-downy head
Elevator Butt
Meatloafing
Greeblings (of all kinds)
Crunchies
Gooshy Food

Flippy-head:  similar to Upside-Downy-head, but the cat is standing or
sitting while doing it, instead of laying down, and usually ends with the
cat rolling or falling over.

Johnny Applecat.  Coined by a regular's sone when he saw a picture of Weeble
tasting an apple (he still likes them, BTW)

I wonder if that Jamie Anderson song, 'When Cats Take Over The World' is
still arround to be downloaded. I play it occasionally, it still makes
me smile.

My parents used to say that something was "better than the cat's meow"

"Upside-down Kitty" (when a cat rolls over so her belly is on display, and
purrs mightily)

"Thunder Kitties" -- when the family cat charges around the house and
sounds louder than a stampeding herd of elephants. Even better, when
there's more than one family cat and they chase one another around in such
a way that they register on the Richter scale. Also see: ZOOMIES.

If you are unfamiliar with the frase "bed mice", I will recommend a very
descriptive article (actually written by a cat...)
http://www.badpets.net/BadPets/CatRules/CatRules2.html#game

In fact, this work gives you a fine chance to learn more about how cats
relate to their house and their hoomins...

Heehee-- my mother calls both Stinky and me "kids."  ;)  The first
time she did it, I was giving him his "sandwich tax"-- there's another
one, thanks, Fil!--  and Mom said, "No eating off the same plate,
kids!!"  ;)
