Cattiness is that mean, scratchy quality in someone's words — the habit of saying things in a small, sharp way, often behind a person's back or with a sweet face. It is the noun from catty. Informal. You might talk about a bit of cattiness in the group chat rather than a loud quarrel. It feels petty more than dangerous: little cuts, not a war. Same as with catty, English has long painted this as a woman's fault; that is the language being unfair, not a rule of life.
組成From catty + -ness, which turns the adjective into a noun for the quality.
