Felineoriented

Felineoriented is an adjective used to describe a person, organization, product, or environment that prioritizes or centers on cats. The term combines feline, relating to cats, with oriented, indicating direction or emphasis. It is not a formal scientific category but a descriptive label used in informal or professional contexts to signal a cat-centric focus and preference rather than a universal attribute.

In design and architecture, felineoriented approaches aim to support cat welfare and natural behavior, such as providing vertical space, accessible resources, and safe routes for exploration. In consumer products, it can guide the development of cat furniture, feeders, toys, and accessories that align with feline behavior and owner needs. In media and marketing, felineoriented messaging targets cat owners through imagery, content, and branding that emphasize pet companionship.

Because it is informal, the term can be ambiguous and is often replaced by more precise phrases such as cat-centric, cat-focused, or cat-friendly depending on context. Its usage tends to be strongest in lifestyle journalism, branding, and design discourse rather than in scientific literature. It serves as a shorthand for a broader set of cat-related considerations.
