alarm cat

A back-up waking device in feline form. Gentler when it initially goes off, but if you press the snooze bar, is subsequently harsher (depending on how hungry it is).

scratch cat

The Scratch Cat is the mascot of Scratch and the default sprite when opening a new Scratch project.1 This can't be changed. It is also the outline for the default icon of new Scratch accounts, replacing a previous version that showed a human silhouette.2 The Scratch Cat is a trademark of MIT3 and was drawn by Wing Ngan.4 According to Scratch Team member ceebee, the Scratch Cat is nonbinary, meaning that the cat does not identify as strictly male or female in terms of gender.5 However, many users, even some Scratch Team members, use male pronouns for Scratch Cat.

Buttering the Cat

In the disability rights community: attempting to help someone without asking if they need help, or in a way that is not actually helpful (and indeed may be harmful to the disabled person or to others).

Comes from a viral Twitter thread featuring Jorts the orange cat who was having trouble grooming himself. A well meaning but clueless human buttered Jorts in an attempt to teach him how to groom himself. This may or may not have resulted in a different cat being sick from licking the butter off of Jorts.

"Hey, don't just grab my chair; that's buttering the cat!"

"Stop buttering the cat, tonight's homework is easy!"

Cat Butt

Noun:
The disgusting wrinkly red skin that forms on someone's earlobe when they stretch their piercings too quickly and don't moisturize. The result is a cat butt-esque hole.

Boy: Dayum girl... did you see when Maria took out her plugs? She had some serious cat butt, could have used some Holey Butt'r.

Girl: I know, seriously... she stretches too fast and has huge blowouts too. We should submit her picture to awful mods.

skin the cat

Term refers to a task which has several ways by which it can be completed. Often used in the expression "there are many ways to skin the cat" or by using "skin this cat" in place of "skin the cat."

My friends and I are going to start a business, but we don't even know where to begin because there are so many ways to skin the cat.

cats pajamas

1920s Lingo describing someone (something) who is great, incredible or special. Usually indicating stylishness or innovation. Pajamas were a relatively new fashion in the 1920s. The term "cat" was beginning to be used as a term to describe the out going and unconventional jazz-age flappers.

That girl wearing those Paris Hilton sunglasses must think she's the cats pajamas.
Those crazy rinestone studded platinum teeth are the cat's pajamas!
