means A small, soft-footed domesticated carnivore (Felis catus) kept as a pet, prized for hunting mice and for its general air of self-possessed indifference.
from From Old English 'catt,' part of a sprawling family of near-identical words across Europe — Latin 'cattus,' German 'Katze,' French 'chat,' Welsh 'cath' — all pointing back to a shared late-Latin source that swept the continent as cats themselves did.
