To catport


 

To catport: (by a cat) appearing in a room after being seen in a different room by the person which is now entering the room.

E.g. Tom catported into the kitchen, after I left him into the main bedroom.

When used with this verb, the word cat is omitted.

E.g. The catported onto the couch.

However, it's still possible to use pronouns:

they catported outside while I was not watching.
