Yet appertaining more to appearance
Cat-like. Stealthy, slow, yet appertaining more to appearance.
Catlings. Down, or moss, growing about walnut-trees, resembling the hair of a cat.
Cat o' Nine Tails. So called from being nine pieces of cord put together, in each cord nine knots; and this, when used vigorously, makes several long marks not unlike the clawing or scratching of a cat, producing crossing and re-crossing wounds; a fearful and severe punishment, formerly too often exercised for trivial offences.
