i think that term must have been developed by a 3 year old. "mom, my fish are ick!!" so when they go to the fishie vet, the mom says, "they have ick." and suddenly, a new term is born.

cats would never have a technical term like 'ick'. there's would be something like 'Involuntary Stress-Induced Colour Changes Not in the Least Affecting my Overall Greatness.' maybe that would be ISICCNLAOG. . . . . . <<;;;

dogs would probably call it 'itch'. whether or not it did. of course, they're always scratching anyway. hrms.
