Polyurethaankitten

Polyurethaankitten is a neologism that blends the words polyurethane and kitten. It does not refer to a scientifically defined entity, but rather to a playful or fictional concept that appears mainly in online communities, memes, and hobbyist discussions. Because it is not standardized, its meaning varies by context.

In many cases, the term is used to label art or crafts involving polyurethane materials—such as resin-coated cat figurines, polyurethane foam sculptures, or toy coatings—with a cat motif. It can also appear as a humorous name for polymer-based plush toys or as a meme about glossy, toy-like kittens.

Safety and practicality considerations accompany any mention of polyurethane materials. When working with polyurethane products, standard safety measures apply, including proper ventilation and protective equipment, since isocyanates and solvents can be hazardous if inhaled or contacted with skin.

Origin and reception of the term are unclear. It is primarily a playful portmanteau that has not been adopted as a standard term in science or veterinary contexts. In online discussions, it is often cited as an example of internet humor or creative naming rather than a formal concept with a fixed definition.
