PCAT

This is ***NOT*** the PCAT that you might be thinking of (an ancient desktop computer; the immediate successor to the PCXT) -- no, a PCAT is a housecat who's apparent primary goal in life is to piss on anything and everything that it can: counters, cabinet doors, sinks, rugs & carpets, walls (esp. behind large planters), clothes, in open washing machines, etc.

Pronounced exactly like you would expect; like the phrase, "pee cat".
Get rid of that goddamn PCAT because it's pissing all over everything!
