He paused, gazing at her for a moment. "Are you a ailurophile?"
She stared back at him. "A... what? Um, I'm a Christian..."
"Airluophile means 'cat-lover'," John said with a smile.
"Oh. Well, it's an awful long word." Kailey frowned to hide her embarrassment.
"Like labyrinthine?" John gazed at her knotted, wavy hair. "Or chatoyant." He met her eyes with his unwavering stare.

Well, I never guaranteed the scene would be long! In this story, Kailey was a young girl trying to purchase a cat but was interrupted by John, who is a robot! I wanted to use these words, but no normal human would use them....
Airlouphile - cat-lover
Labyrinthine - twisting and turning
Chatoyant - like a cat's eye
Wow you're funny. This just inspired me so much...
