How a less attractive female acts towards another girl who she feels threatened by or she knows looks better than she does.

1. A more hip term than passive aggressive, but with the same meaning. 2. Being a bitch under the guise of not being a bitch. 3. The attitude of your mother-in-law.
Daughter-in-law: I got a ham for Easter.
Mother-in-law: Well, I'm bringing my own ham. We don't need anymore disasters.
Daughter-in-law: Wow, you are one catty bitch.

Or

Mother-in-law: It's okay to make fun of people who aren't as high-functioning as yourself.
Daughter-in-law: By that definition, I should be okay to make fun of you.
Mother-in-law: I don't get it.
Daughter-in-law: My point exactly.

In this example Daughter-in-law is being Catty.

1) If one is being catty, they are being subtly or indirectly insulting. Different from bitchy in that bitchiness is just mean, while cattiness is often clever and witty, and isn't ALWAYS completely mean (for example, a catty joke). Though it is most often used in reference to women, it can be used in reference to men as well.

2) Resembling a cat, feline.
Emily: Do you like this dress? I just bought it!

Karen: It's...interesting. Where did you buy it? I didn't know there were any thrift stores around here.

Emily: Wow, that was catty, Karen!
