Cataplexy


cataplexy \ˈka-tə-ˌplek-sē\ noun: sudden loss of muscle power following a strong emotional stimulus

Etymology: German Kataplexie, from Greek kataplēxis, from kataplēssein to strike down, terrify, from kata- down + plēssein to strike

Would cat epoxy be epoxy made from cats, epoxy used by cats, or epoxy made for use on cats?
