Catastrophizing

Cartoon image of  a man shouting at his cat in Catastrophizing. The cat has just pushed the man's cup off the table at which the man is sitting.
“I’m about to rub out your nine lives.”

The cat leapt onto the dinner table, looked me dead in the eye, and knocked my stupendous soufflé to the floor. Critics had called it “ethereal,” “fluffy,” even “divine.” My cat called it “gravity’s bitch.” Thus ended my brief culinary career–ruined by whiskers, paws, and profound indifference. C’est la vie.
