Cat Fishing Trivia Quiz

I dedicate this quiz to my beloved cat, Missy Raymer, who died on 6-12-01 at age 18. Hope she's snoozing in the sun somewhere in the Happy Hunting Grounds. Each one-word answer begins with 'cat.' Like this one? Try 'Ax Me No Questions.'

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Let's start with an easy one: thick tomato sauce.

Answer: catsup

I love catsup, or ketchup, on french fries, don't you?

2. If you're getting married, you probably need to hire one.

Answer: caterer

I hired a wonderful caterer for my (first) wedding, but I hardly got anything to eat! I'll remember that next time.

3. A raft

Answer: catamaran

I thought these came from the Pacific islands, but my dictionary says India, South America, and the West and East Indies.

4. There's a chrysalis in this guy's future.

Answer: caterpillar

I like the fuzzy black ones. I grew up in the hills of Los Angeles and zillions of them hatched each year inside our house. At least they're easy to pick up and gently place out of doors.

5. A nurse will insert one if you can't go on your own.

Answer: catheter

If you have had personal experience with these, you know that the less said the better.

6. An earthquake might be one.

Answer: cataclysm

Catastrophe has 11 letters, you guys.

7. Classification or grouping.

Answer: category

I wish to state categorically that I fall into the Brilliant Quiz Makers Category.

8. A baseball team has one.

Answer: catcher

On geocities there's actually an exhaustive list of baseball catchers from Fred Abbot to Frank Zupo. (I myself am not a sports nut.)

9. Describes a nasty gossiping person (usually a woman, though I've known men who are this way).

Answer: catty

Have you seen the movie The Women? It's got some majorly catty characters. (Great movie, too.)

10. Might describe a good cry.

Answer: cathartic

Catharsis comes from a Greek word meaning 'purgation, especially of the bowels.' But psychiatrists co-opted the word when they figured out it was good for people to bring their grief and fears and so on to the surface.

11. Is the Pope __________?

Answer: Catholic

Does a bear __________ in the woods?

12. Chartres is one.

Answer: cathedral

While on a bike trip in Europe, the quiz maker once visited the cathedral at Chartres, France. Wow, it is absolutely breathtaking.

13. One might get this way following a severe trauma.

Answer: catatonic

In Greek, 'kata' means 'down,' and 'tonos' means 'tension.' Actually, catatonics have periods of excitement as well as phases when they are kinda frozen.

14. Ancient military device.

Answer: catapult

Actually a slingshot is a catapult, too. Does anyone know whether the word 'pelt' has the same root?

15. Causes excess mucus.

Answer: catarrh

Catarrh is inflammation of a mucous membrane. So I guess snotty folks have this.
