dead cat
Lifeless pet cat
A dead cat bounce is a brief recovery in a falling stock price before it resumes declining—the idea being that even a dead cat will bounce if dropped from high enough.
The phrase gets shortened: The market rallied Tuesday, but analysts called it a dead cat.
Outside finance, a dead cat is simply a deceased feline.
