Local slang nickname for Cathedral City, California — a desert city in the Coachella Valley right next door to Palm Springs. Like most city nicknames, Cat City is used by locals and regional residents as casual shorthand. Cathedral City is known for its Spanish colonial architecture, proximity to the broader Palm Springs resort area, and its large LGBTQ+ community. The nickname is hyperlocal but entirely natural to anyone from the Inland Empire or Desert Cities area of Southern California.
He'd been living in Cat City for three years before he ever actually made it over to Palm Springs proper.
