Over the years I've developed a vocabulary of words I use when I talk to my cat. Anybody besides me do this? Or am I the only one weird enough?
Here goes ...
Catilated: past tense and past participle of catilate - to be effected by a cat, usually in a negative way.
-- My hand got catilated after Kitty decided to wrestle with it.
-- Oh no, that poor birdie just got catilated.
Also written or spoken as catlificated.
Catly: adjective - appearing or acting in a very cat-like manner
-- You look very catly sleeping on that shelf up there.
-- That was very catly of you to drop that dead bird on the floor.
Also written or spoken as catlacious.
Those are the main two, though I've also got some some similar ones. Let's hear yours!

I like it. Perhaps you should put together a dictionary on the catification of the English language.
About as far as I've gotten with that is using the word 'catitude'.
Here's one off the top of my head though; 'catfiscated'... as in "my cat has catfiscated my chair, and I have no where else to sit".
One word every cat or dog in the world knows is "TREAT". You say that magic word and up go the ears. Even stray cats know it. We get dogs in at work all the time, and we keep treats at the register. When I say, "Is your buddy allowed to have a treat" suddenly they perk up and follow me to where we keep them.
Don't know how they know that word, but they all do.
Catitude and Caturday have cropped up online and on Animal Planet. I've adapted a couple of net-words to my cat because I prefer them used in that way, than how they're more commonly applied...
"Catspreading" (when he's so sprawled all over my bed that there isn't really room for me, how does he manage that anyhow, he's like a 16 pound animal and it's a full size bed...?)
"Catsplaining" (when he is displeased about my activities and complaining quite vocally and at length, and it's rather clear what he thinks I ought to be doing with my life, instead.)
"Flippy-tail" (the gesture he makes when I have annoyed him.)
"Bitey-cat" (what happens if we ignore flippy-tail.)
My kitties definitely have CATITUDE, and they also do a lot of CATSPREADING and CATSPLAINING. They have also been known to CATFISCATE my favorite seat in the TV room, although my kitty-love Hansel is the one who does that the most and he is always open to being moved, as long as he can sit next to me.
And I of course have been CATILADED ever since I got my first kitties back in 1991.
And, of course, we must not forget the all-important *Caterwalling.
*Caterwalling- AKA The Song of Their People.
