Felinriktade

felinriktade is a Swedish adjective meaning oriented toward felines or cat-related. It is used to describe interests, products, policies, or research that prioritize cats, either as a focal point or as a target group. The term can apply to various domains, such as design, marketing, welfare work, or academic studies.

The word is formed from the root felin-, relating to cats, and the suffix inriktad, meaning directed toward. In Swedish, it inflects as felinriktad (singular common), felinriktat (neuter), and felinriktade (plural). It is most common in contexts where cats are central to the subject matter, and it is more likely to appear in written Swedish or formal discourse than in everyday speech.

Examples of usage include phrases like en felinriktad produktlinje (a cat-oriented product line), en felinriktad kommunikationsstrategi (a cat-focused communications strategy), or felinriktade boendemiljöer (cat-friendly living environments). The term signals a deliberate emphasis on cats within the described field or practice.

Related terms include kattvänlig (cat-friendly) and kattorienterad (cat-oriented). Felinriktade tends to emphasize a strategic or systematic focus on feline considerations, rather than a casual or superficial association. It is a niche descriptor often found in marketing, design briefs, veterinary contexts, or discussions about animal welfare and pet ownership, rather than in everyday conversation.
