The kind of cat that is extremely clingy, always seeking out his/her favorite warm, human host body for cuddling and ridiculously close snuggling to the point of looking attached to said person. This demonstrated behavior and total disregard for personal space is typically accompanied by loud purring, uncomfortable kneading, and possible scratching if the host body dares to desire to move independently.

The Puritans were members of a religious reformation movement known as Puritanism which arose within the Church of England. Puritans were the more extreme Protestants within the Church of England in the late 16th century who thought that the English Reformation wasn’t far enough in reforming the doctrines and structure of the church. They wanted to purify the Church of England as it was too similar to the Roman Catholic Church. In the 17th century, many Puritans emigrated to the New World, where they sought a holy commonwealth in New England.
