Off topic - need help with a british meals name

There was nothing in the TV worth watching it in the last days and i once again took out my Downton Abbey CDs. I share the fascination for this tv-series with a lot of british people and i can´t wait for final season six *cry*

In two show they are talking about a meal called "cattery", which seems to be something for breakfast. I´m not shure, how to write it right, so i wrote it how i hear it. I doubt, that this is a translation mistake, because we don´t have a word like this in german.

Using it the way i wrote it, Google shows themes about cats, but i can´t believe, that they eat cats for breakfast :D

Can someone shed some light on this?

Oh btw - no spoilers please :D

Remarkably there are numerous food websites around Downton and the 1940's menus used on the show.....what you are after is kedgeree.....see link below.

Thanks Dave!

Well, with the word i understood i could have searched the whole world without finding something!

But tell me, how can someone eat fish at breakfast? Image

I must say, that i´m not a great fish eater, but if, it wouldn´t be at breakfast...

I´m not a big fish fan anyway. My mother loved to serve cold fried herring in vinegar and that made me hate fish. In later years i found my way to the one or other kind of fish, but its a long way :D
