I set up a cat cam for my much missed cat. She would walk around looking for us, sleep on the bed waiting for us, and vindictively claw a felt-covered chair she knew she wasn’t supposed to use as a scratching post.

AI tells me that it means you wear a bow tie and white dress shirt but your jacket and trousers don't need to be exactly dinner jacket/tuxedo style. I've never heard of it either but I like the idea you don't need men to already own a dinner jacket or rent one for the night to come along.
