Yvonne would be deep in sleep until she felt that which purrmeated her reverie. Her tom cat would stare her awake. He would look at her enough with his big eyes until she was wide awake and wondering what happened to her. He commenced his very loud purring just after he got her attention. This would go on until she reached out to pat him under the chin and behind the ears. He made a perfect alarm clock&#8230;too bad she couldn&#8217;t set Romeo for 3 hours later each morning! <em>Etymology:<\/em>  Purr (a low vibrating sound typical of a contented cat; indicate pleasure by purring; characteristic of cats)  &amp; Permeated (sinks in;penetrated; to spread through) <em>Created by:<\/em> Nosila.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Glarify<\/strong>:  \/<em>glar\u00c9\u2122f\u00c4\u00ab<\/em>\/ The cat wanted to glarify his point that more treats and toys were in order so he waited until Sharon had gone to sleep. He sat on the pillow next to hers and laser-beam stared at her until she awoke with a start. The only time she had felt anything that creepy before was in an Alfred Hitchcock movie. The very next morning Sharon went straight to the pet store and bought a crate for the cat to sleep in. <em>Etymology:<\/em>  glare () + clarify (make (a statement or situation) less confused and more clearly comprehensible) <em>Created by:<\/em> artr.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Stalkat<\/strong>:  \/<em>Stall Cat<\/em>\/ The dog got into my room while i was sleeping, he snook up to my face, and he was all stalkatting.
