A young female in her late teens or early twenties that looks to be 60 or more years old. She's been strung out on meth since middle school. All of her teeth are missing, one eye usually bugs out and looks in a sideways direction.

Most of the time you can either hear them or smell them before you see them. It's rare to see them in daylight. They are nocturnal creatures. They live in the woods or in abandoned sheds and are afraid of water so they never shower or bathe. They make a cat like mumbling meow sound like they are trying to talk but it doesn't make sense. You can must often spot them around or in dumpsters. Exercise caution. Don't try to communicate with them or feed them. They're usually covered in puss filled sores and known to transmit diseases or parasites if you come in contact with one.

The name catawompus is an old Indian term derived from the cat like sounds they make (cata'), being a female or young woman (wom') and covered in puss filled sores (pus). They are believed to have originated from York county SC.
I saw a catawompus behind the Dollar General last night. It's eyes were bright red and foaming at the mouth. It was making a hell of a noise I think it was stuck in the dumpster.. I got the hell outta there!
