Nicherin
Comet
In their early-childhood, Michelle and her brother developed a nomenclatire for cats and cat-parts. "Cabs" were black and white cats named for the the coloration of taxis. Smirkets are black cats and a cat's anus is called a "twidget."
This proclivity endured. Sometimes though, instead of making up words they'll assign new definitions. So it is with "nicherin."
A sect of Buddhism, Michelle re-assigned the term to apply to the wrinkling that builds on a cat's face at the top of its nose when annoyed or simply created, as in this case, by pressure.
Now you know.
Michelle says, "This is Comet. She's the one who said "snaaaaaa" three times last night, and once this morning. But then when I served mush and presented a cat toy, the scales fell from her eyes and she realized I am useful after all."
