You're wrong.

Catatonic syndrome was a diagnosis first used by a German psychiatrist in the 1800's. Before that it was described by ancient Greeks.

It's a category (also a word that has nothing to do with cats) of major depression and schizophrenia.

Scruffing a cat poisons it into a coma?

That's what the conversation was initially about. My mistake.

The rest of my comment stands.
