Catdom/catkind/catness

It would logically be 'catkind' according to your terms, but 'catdom' is fine. 'Catness' is a different concept.

Thanks! That was my first choice too.

InterventizioHi. This is a weird one.What would the equivalent to "mankind" be if we had to say that of cats? (of course, it's meant as a joke).1) catkind;2) catdom;3) catness;4) ...

While technically possible, none of them are common words in general, everyday English. Many people will not be familiar with them.

I was thinking that maybe the "suffix" "-dom" might refer to a political entity (see "kingdom"). That's not the meaning I was looking for, as by the word "mankind". So I think I'll go for "catkind". Opinions?

Yes indeed I mean to use it as a joke.

wisdom? martyrdom? freedom? boredom? stardom? The only common '-dom' that refers to a political entity is 'kingdom'.
