Similar to the Cat Clause but the cat isn't physically on you.
For example the cat is sleeping next to you, and moving or getting up would disturb it.

"Sorry I can't get up, my cat is sleeping next to me and if I move it will stop being cute and return to being a menace"
"I can't get out of my room, my cat is sleeping in front of the door and I seem to be in a Cat Clause By Proxy"

PROXY is a licensed software product made by PROXY Networks. Besides being utterly stupid to name any software "proxy" (more widely known as being something completely different in IT networking), the product still looks like it's from Windows 95 and handles more or less to that capacity.
It's complete crap

Idiot help desk tech: My IT shop uses PROXY (software) for remote connections to manage our infrastructure.
Network tech: Wait, why are you using a network proxy for something you need to access remotely?
Every other IT professional: PROXY sucks, use something... literally ANYTHING else.

"Ambition by proxy" refers to a situation where someone delegates ambitious tasks, projects, or goals to another person without actively participating or contributing to the effort themselves. This term implies that the person is seeking to achieve success or recognition vicariously through the efforts of others, rather than taking on the challenges directly.
When my boss constantly assigns me high-profile projects but never offers any support or guidance, it feels like he's practicing ambition by proxy, wanting the glory without putting in the work.
You know when your wife comes up with ideas for projects for you to do but doesn't plan on helping at all? That's ambition by proxy.

Agunahausen-by-Proxy, also referred to as Factitious Agunahood Imposed Knavishly on Another (FAIKA), is a mental health disorder in which a mother presents her daughter as an "Agunah" to her friends, family and community. The behaviour is generally motivated by a mother-in-law seeking to vilify her son-in-law, elicit sympathy and attention and to generate revenue through crownfunding and community charities
I was redt to a girl who seemed nice, but I did some research and found out her mother has Agunahausen-by-Proxy, and I'm not getting into a shvigger matzav like that
