Catitude

I didn't notice Mother until Goodyear leapt up to greet me—and with dirty paws too. Pewter, full of catitude, refused to move aside for Goodyear.

Ally, the alpha cat in my household, has a severe case of catitude. She demands to sit on my lap and leaves as soon as she has altered whatever I was doing.

Like "Garfield," "Catwoman" is really a parody of catitude, offering glib mockery of a domestic species notorious for its pride and hauteur.
