Definition: turncat, noun, a cat that suddenly lashes out while being petted. Alternate definition: cat.

@cliffordbeshers Also, INTRICAT: noun, a complex feline.

@cliffordbeshers 😹 I also see: Criticat: a cat that turns its nose up at your offerings of treats and toys, aka a cat.

@jean Ah, my screen cut off the aka. Good find.
