Cattage: Small, usually valuable articles stolen by cats. "My grandfather's gold watch has become cattage!"
Catalanche: A cascade of objects to the floor, caused by a cat leaping on a pile of books, bookshelf, CD rack, cluttered desk, workbench, etc.
Fweeee: A leap, generally from a high point, with all four paws spraddled in preparation for impact with the distant floor. Also what happens when the kitten grabs the feathered thing hanging by an elastic cord from the top of the living room door frame and trots all the way to the kitchen with it before letting it fly.
Fwing: Similar to the first definition of fweeee, but with more of a horizontal componant. Fwing also commonly involves impact of a feline chin on the edge of a table, chair, etc. and subsequent spinning tumble before hitting the floor, proving by example that cats don't ALWAYS land on their feet.
