Cataglory Definition: 1: As humankind struggled for more precise definitions for the many verbal sounds (words) they began using to enhance communications, they frequently forgot the original root meanings. Clearly, this word was coined to describe the phenomena of being inundated with cats whose daily washing behavior was at odds with what was then common "human" sense.  Time allowed the active verb reference, to be inundated and washed, for this event to become simply a noun denoting the event itself. Note: Humankind has since adopted frequent bathing and personal hygiene as a normal social behavior. 2: any great upheaval in a cat's life.
