THE DESCRIBING OF CATS IS A DIFFICULT MATTER

[rmd]

Adjectives I regularly use to describe my cats in their presence (an incomplete list):

Mine was nicknamed "Little Miss Peebody" for a while due to a rather distinctive way or expressing her displeasure.

I wonder if you know about this song:
Kitten Knitting Blues?

Seems right up your alley. :)
