Definition of a cat

Come on... we all know what a cat is. Who would really go to the dictionary to find out all the meanings this little word has?

Happened to come across it when I was flipping the tome for something else.... and some of the meanings... well, it just makes you wonder if the originator of that was a vindictive man....

Cat: (noun)
1. A small four-legged animal with soft fur and sharp claws
2. an animal related to this, such as the lion or tiger
3. a mean unpleasant woman
