  10. Hopscotch Says:

    this is brilliant!

  11. dguzman Says:

    This is the best glossary I’ve ever read! I’m so glad you included “making biscuits,” though a friend of mine calls it “bubble gumming” (like her Mr.Murry’s paws are stuck in bubble gum).

    Our tortie Clawsie also does biscuits in the air while lying on her back; we call that her “shadow puppets.” She usually does those only under the influence of “the ‘nip” (catnip).

  12. Goldie and Shade Says:

    The PM here, I loved your list of terms. Very funny and oh so true. Do you have a term for the large puff of furr under a bun’s chin? We always called it their gossle. I think it is more common with a little rotund bun.
