a lower ranking member of a household whose chief contribution is to the care of the household pets, most specifically cats. Coinage from concubine.

A little town on Cape Cod where all people do is fish, enjoy their ice cream from Summerset Creamery, swim in Buzzards Bay, and sit in the hammock. Pretty much, the best place in the world. =)
