The world, realm, or condition of cats collectively, often used humorously or metaphorically to describe cat behavior and cat culture.
From 'cat' + the suffix '-dom' (meaning realm or condition), following the pattern of 'kingdom,' 'wisdom,' 'boredom.' It's a humorous modern coinage, especially popularized in internet culture.
Catdom is part of a hilarious linguistic tradition where we add '-dom' to animals and ideas to sound fancy—there's also 'dogdom' and 'mousedom'! Today, 'catdom' perfectly captures how cats have essentially taken over the internet and become their own entire universe.
