WordPlay: Spelling Bee words that include CAT or DOG

If you cite information from this LexiConnexxions report, please give credit and a link to this page. These reports and analyses are compiled and prepared by a human being, not a machine. Thank you.
The letters A, C, and T are very common in English, and as a result, many Bee words include them all. A handful of Bee words include them in the sequence C-A-T – not only words about cats, but words that just include that sequence. Listed below are all the Bee words that include the sequence CAT, and, to be fair to canine connoisseurs, another list with all the Bee words that include the sequence D-O-G. Being aware of how these letters are used to form words can improve solving skills when the daily Bee contains the letters A, C, and T or D, G, and O.
Words in ALL CAPS are pangrams. Words marked with an asterisk have been used in at least one Spelling Bee puzzle, then subsequently disallowed; they are retained here for historical interest.
