catasstrophy

after your cat uses the litterbox, and runs away from it, sometimes a few leftovers linger on him and fall in his wake. These are catasstrophies.

I walked into the kitchen only to find a catasstrophy next to the refrigerator.

Similar pronunciation like 'catastrophe'. But different meaning. Catasstrophy means getting a trophy for the most clean and nice looking cat ass.

Bob: Yo bro, what tf is the shiny golden thing there that looks like a cat's butthole?

catastrophic success

The new product was such a hit that the store ran out, resulting in angry crowds destroying the mall. It was a catastrophic success for the company.

Catastrophizing

A psychotherapeutic term for a cognitive distortion where anxiety or depression leads you to infer apocalyptic conclusions from mundane setbacks and anxieties.

Catastrophizing usually comes in a litany of steps that start from a mundane setback all the way to absolute existential hoplessness. For instance:

1. Oh no, I'm going to be late for work.
2. My boss is going to be angry.
3. I'm going to lose my job.
4. I'm not going to be able to get another one.
5. I'm going to be unemployed forever.
6. My family will starve.
7. Oh God, we're all going to die!!!

Each step in the sequence is arguably plausible, but the snowball effect takes it into the realms of absurdity after a while.
