Definition
Past tense of 'cat,' meaning to vomit or to act like a cat; also naval slang for raising the anchor using a cathead.
Etymology
From Middle English 'catten,' derived from the noun 'cat.' In nautical contexts, it combines 'cat' (the animal) with the lifting mechanism called a 'cathead' on sailing ships.
Kelly Says
Sailors had a weird term 'catted' for hoisting anchors using the cathead—it's one of those sailing words that sounds ridiculous until you realize the equipment actually looked cat-like!
