(gcide) | cat \cat\ (k[a^]t), n. [AS. cat; akin to D. & Dan. kat, Sw.
katt, Icel. k["o]ttr, G. katze, kater, Ir. cat, W. cath,
Armor. kaz, LL. catus, Bisc. catua, NGr. ga`ta, ga`tos, Russ.

1. (Zool.) Any animal belonging to the natural family
Felidae, and in particular to the various species of the
genera Felis, Panthera, and Lynx. The domestic cat
is Felis domestica. The European wild cat ({Felis
catus}) is much larger than the domestic cat. In the
United States the name wild cat is commonly applied to
the bay lynx (Lynx rufus). The larger felines, such as
the lion, tiger, leopard, and cougar, are often referred
to as cats, and sometimes as big cats. See Wild cat, and
Tiger cat.
[1913 Webster +PJC]
Note: The domestic cat includes many varieties named from
their place of origin or from some peculiarity; as, the
Angora cat; the Maltese cat; the Manx cat; the
Siamese cat.
[1913 Webster]
Laying aside their often rancorous debate over
how best to preserve the Florida panther, state
and federal wildlife officials,
environmentalists, and independent scientists
endorsed the proposal, and in 1995 the eight cats
[female Texas cougars] were brought from Texas
and released. . . .
Uprooted from the arid hills of West Texas, three
of the imports have died, but the remaining five
adapted to swamp life and have each given birth
to at least one litter of kittens. --Mark Derr
(N. Y. Times,
Nov. 2, 1999,
Science Times
p. F2).
[PJC]
Note: The word cat is also used to designate other animals,
from some fancied resemblance; as, civet cat, fisher
cat, catbird, catfish shark, sea cat.
[1913 Webster]

cat
(foldoc) | cat
(From "catenate") Unix's command which copies one or
more entire files to the screen or some other output sink
without pause.
See also dd, BLT.
Among Unix fans, cat is considered an excellent example of
user-interface design, because it delivers the file contents
without such verbosity as spacing or headers between the files
(the pr command can be used to do this), and because it does
not require the files to consist of lines of text, but works
with any sort of data.
Among Unix haters, cat is considered the canonical example
of *bad* user-interface design, because of its woefully
unobvious name. It is far more often used to blast a file
to standard output than to concatenate files. The name "cat"
for the former operation is just as unintuitive as, say,
LISP's cdr.
Of such oppositions are holy wars made.

vt.
[from catenate via Unix cat(1)]
1. [techspeak] To spew an entire file to the screen or some other output
sink without pause (syn. blast).
2. By extension, to dump large amounts of data at an unprepared target or

outside Unix sites. See also dd, BLT.

Among Unix haters, cat(1) is considered the canonical example of bad
user-interface design, because of its woefully unobvious name. It is far
more often used to blast a file to standard output than to concatenate
two files. The name cat for the former operation is just as unintuitive as,
say, LISP's cdr.
