This would roughly match how domestic cats themselves spread, as genetic studies suggest they began to spread out of the Near East / Fertile Crescent during the Neolithic (being in Cyprus by 9500 years ago, and Greece and Italy by 2500 years ago), especially after they became popular in Egypt. However, every proposed source word has presented problems. Adolphe Pictet and many subsequent sources refer to Barabra (Nubian) [script needed] (kaddîska) and \"Nouba\" (Nobiin) ⲕⲁⲇⲓ̄ⲥ (kadīs, “kadīs”) as possible sources or cognates, but M. Lionel Bender says the Nubian word is a loan from Arabic قِطَّة (qiṭṭa).

Kroonen says the word must have existed in Germanic from a very early date, as it shows morphological alternations, and suggests that it might have been borrowed from Uralic, compare Northern Sami gađfe (“female stoat”) and Hungarian hölgy (“stoat; lady, bride”) from Proto-Uralic *käďwä (“female (of a fur animal)”).\nCognates\nRelated to Scots cat, West Frisian kat, North Frisian kåt and kaat, Dutch kat, Danish kat, Norwegian katt, Swedish katt, German Low German Katt and Katte, German Katze, Alemannic German Chatz, Icelandic köttur, Afrikaans kat, Latin cattus, French chat, Norman cat, Occitan cat, Portuguese gato, Spanish gato, Aromanian cãtush, Scottish Gaelic cat, Irish cat, Breton kazh, Welsh cath, Cornish kath, as well as Ancient Greek κάττα (kátta), Greek γάτα (gáta), Turkish kedi, and from the same ultimate source Russian кот (kot), Ukrainian кіт (kit), Belarusian кот (kot), Polish kot, Kashubian kòt, Lithuanian katė, and more distantly Armenian կատու (katu), Basque katu, Arabic قِطَّة (qiṭṭa) alongside dialectal Maghrebi Arabic قَطُّوس (qaṭṭūs) (from Berber, probably from Latin).", "forms": [{"form": "cats", "tags": ["present", "singular", "third-person"]}, {"form": "catting", "tags": ["participle", "present"]}, {"form": "catted", "tags": ["participle", "past"]}, {"form": "catted", "tags": ["past"]}, {"form": "catte", "tags": ["alternative"]}], "head_templates": [{"args": {}, "expansion": "cat (third-person singular simple present cats, present participle catting, simple past and past participle catted)", "name": "en-verb"}], "hyphenation": ["cat"], "lang": "English", "lang_code": "en", "pos": "verb", "related": [{"word": "Burmese"}, {"word": "feline"}, {"word": "kitten"}, {"word": "kitty"}, {"word": "Maine Coon"}, {"word": "Manx"}, {"word": "meow"}, {"word": "miaow"}, {"word": "mog"}, {"word": "moggie"}, {"word": "moggy"}, {"word": "nine lives"}, {"word": "Persian"}, {"word": "purr"}, {"word": "Russian Blue"}, {"word": "Schrödinger’s cat"}, {"word": "Siamese"}, {"word": "tabby"}], "senses": [{"categories": ["English terms with quotations", "English transitive verbs", "en:Nautical"], "examples": [{"ref": "1922, Francis Lynde, Pirates’ Hope, New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, page 226:", "text": "The anchors were catted at the bows of the yacht […]", "type": "quote"}], "glosses": ["To hoist (an anchor) by its ring so that it hangs at the cathead."], "links": [["nautical", "nautical"], ["hoist", "hoist#Verb"], ["anchor", "anchor#Noun"], ["ring", "ring#Noun"], ["hangs", "hang#Verb"], ["cathead", "cathead#Noun"]], "raw_glosses": ["(nautical, transitive) To hoist (an anchor) by its ring so that it hangs at the cathead."], "synonyms": [{"word": "cathead#Verb"}], "tags": ["transitive"], "topics": ["nautical", "transport"]}, {"categories": ["English transitive verbs", "en:Nautical"], "glosses": ["To flog with a cat-o'-nine-tails."], "links": [["nautical", "nautical"], ["cat-o'-nine-tails", "cat-o'-nine-tails"]], "raw_glosses": ["(nautical, transitive) To flog with a cat-o'-nine-tails."], "tags": ["transitive"], "topics": ["nautical", "transport"]}, {"categories": ["English slang"], "glosses": ["To vomit."], "links": [["vomit", "vomit"]], "raw_glosses": ["(slang) To vomit."], "tags": ["slang"]}, {"categories": ["English terms with quotations"], "examples": [{"ref": "1998, Mary Spencer, Lady’s Wager, page 324:", "text": "\"He doesn't realize that I know,\" Lord Callan said, \"but it's been pretty obvious that most of his catting about London's darker alleys has been a search for his origins.", "type": "quote"}, {"ref": "2010, Claude Brown, Manchild in the Promised Land, page 18:", "text": "This was going to be my first try at catting out.

This would roughly match how domestic cats themselves spread, as genetic studies suggest they began to spread out of the Near East / Fertile Crescent during the Neolithic (being in Cyprus by 9500 years ago, and Greece and Italy by 2500 years ago), especially after they became popular in Egypt. However, every proposed source word has presented problems. Adolphe Pictet and many subsequent sources refer to Barabra (Nubian) [script needed] (kaddîska) and \"Nouba\" (Nobiin) ⲕⲁⲇⲓ̄ⲥ (kadīs, “kadīs”) as possible sources or cognates, but M. Lionel Bender says the Nubian word is a loan from Arabic قِطَّة (qiṭṭa). Jean-Paul Savignac suggests the Latin word is from an Egyptian precursor of Coptic ϣⲁⲩ (šau, “tomcat”) suffixed with feminine -t, but John Huehnergard says \"the source … was clearly not Egyptian itself, where no analogous form is attested.\"\nIt may be a Wanderwort.

This would roughly match how domestic cats themselves spread, as genetic studies suggest they began to spread out of the Near East / Fertile Crescent during the Neolithic (being in Cyprus by 9500 years ago, and Greece and Italy by 2500 years ago), especially after they became popular in Egypt. However, every proposed source word has presented problems. Adolphe Pictet and many subsequent sources refer to Barabra (Nubian) [script needed] (kaddîska) and \"Nouba\" (Nobiin) ⲕⲁⲇⲓ̄ⲥ (kadīs, “kadīs”) as possible sources or cognates, but M. Lionel Bender says the Nubian word is a loan from Arabic قِطَّة (qiṭṭa). Jean-Paul Savignac suggests the Latin word is from an Egyptian precursor of Coptic ϣⲁⲩ (šau, “tomcat”) suffixed with feminine -t, but John Huehnergard says \"the source … was clearly not Egyptian itself, where no analogous form is attested.\"\nIt may be a Wanderwort. Kroonen says the word must have existed in Germanic from a very early date, as it shows morphological alternations, and suggests that it might have been borrowed from Uralic, compare Northern Sami gađfe (“female stoat”) and Hungarian hölgy (“stoat; lady, bride”) from Proto-Uralic *käďwä (“female (of a fur animal)”).\nCognates\nRelated to Scots cat, West Frisian kat, North Frisian kåt and kaat, Dutch kat, Danish kat, Norwegian katt, Swedish katt, German Low German Katt and Katte, German Katze, Alemannic German Chatz, Icelandic köttur, Afrikaans kat, Latin cattus, French chat, Norman cat, Occitan cat, Portuguese gato, Spanish gato, Aromanian cãtush, Scottish Gaelic cat, Irish cat, Breton kazh, Welsh cath, Cornish kath, as well as Ancient Greek κάττα (kátta), Greek γάτα (gáta), Turkish kedi, and from the same ultimate source Russian кот (kot), Ukrainian кіт (kit), Belarusian кот (kot), Polish kot, Kashubian kòt, Lithuanian katė, and more distantly Armenian կատու (katu), Basque katu, Arabic قِطَّة (qiṭṭa) alongside dialectal Maghrebi Arabic قَطُّوس (qaṭṭūs) (from Berber, probably from Latin).", "forms": [{"form": "cats", "tags": ["present", "singular", "third-person"]}, {"form": "catting", "tags": ["participle", "present"]}, {"form": "catted", "tags": ["participle", "past"]}, {"form": "catted", "tags": ["past"]}, {"form": "catte", "tags": ["alternative"]}], "head_templates": [{"args": {}, "expansion": "cat (third-person singular simple present cats, present participle catting, simple past and past participle catted)", "name": "en-verb"}], "hyphenation": ["cat"], "lang": "English", "lang_code": "en", "pos": "verb", "related": [{"word": "Burmese"}, {"word": "feline"}, {"word": "kitten"}, {"word": "kitty"}, {"word": "Maine Coon"}, {"word": "Manx"}, {"word": "meow"}, {"word": "miaow"}, {"word": "mog"}, {"word": "moggie"}, {"word": "moggy"}, {"word": "nine lives"}, {"word": "Persian"}, {"word": "purr"}, {"word": "Russian Blue"}, {"word": "Schrödinger’s cat"}, {"word": "Siamese"}, {"word": "tabby"}], "senses": [{"categories": ["English terms with quotations", "English transitive verbs", "en:Nautical"], "examples": [{"ref": "1922, Francis Lynde, Pirates’ Hope, New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, page 226:", "text": "The anchors were catted at the bows of the yacht […]", "type": "quote"}], "glosses": ["To hoist (an anchor) by its ring so that it hangs at the cathead."], "links": [["nautical", "nautical"], ["hoist", "hoist#Verb"], ["anchor", "anchor#Noun"], ["ring", "ring#Noun"], ["hangs", "hang#Verb"], ["cathead", "cathead#Noun"]], "raw_glosses": ["(nautical, transitive) To hoist (an anchor) by its ring so that it hangs at the cathead."], "synonyms": [{"word": "cathead#Verb"}], "tags": ["transitive"], "topics": ["nautical", "transport"]}, {"categories": ["English transitive verbs", "en:Nautical"], "glosses": ["To flog with a cat-o'-nine-tails."], "links": [["nautical", "nautical"], ["cat-o'-nine-tails", "cat-o'-nine-tails"]], "raw_glosses": ["(nautical, transitive) To flog with a cat-o'-nine-tails."], "tags": ["transitive"], "topics": ["nautical", "transport"]}, {"categories": ["English slang"], "glosses": ["To vomit."], "links": [["vomit", "vomit"]], "raw_glosses": ["(slang) To vomit."], "tags": ["slang"]}, {"categories": ["English terms with quotations"], "examples": [{"ref": "1998, Mary Spencer, Lady’s Wager, page 324:", "text": "\"He doesn't realize that I know,\" Lord Callan said, \"but it's been pretty obvious that most of his catting about London's darker alleys has been a search for his origins.", "type": "quote"}, {"ref": "2010, Claude Brown, Manchild in the Promised Land, page 18:", "text": "This was going to be my first try at catting out.
