Examples

“He slipped out the back door, and we did not see⟳ him for two full days. The temperature dropped dramatically, it was close⟳ to freezing those two nights. We figured, too bad, the little bugger had it made, with us, and now he'll be a catsicle or a catsplat in the road...So we gave up on him, and went to the Humane Society, and adopted a bouncing bruiser named Smokey.”

“'The cat's gone,' my father said. 'Face⟳ it, that cat can hardly stay⟳ alive inside the house. She's not coming back. And if you hold⟳ the door open⟳ much longer, the rest⟳ of us will freeze⟳ to death too.' 'Poppy!' my stepmother shouted. 'She's frozen now,' I said helpfully. 'She's a catsicle.'”

“I know⟳ for damn sure watching catsicles form⟳ outside my kitchen window would drive⟳ me out of my mind⟳ with guilt.”
