Logical extension.

Explanation:

'Logical extension' is elucidated as the rational process that involves gaining the ability to apply the freshly learned words along with the other correlative words already existing in the category.

As per the given description, Nathan is elucidating 'logical extension' as he acquires the reasonable ability to administer his newly gained knowledge that 'both the cat and catfish have whiskers'. He refers to this newly gained knowledge in the context of describing 'grandpa's new mustache' as 'cat grandpa' which implies that he logically correlates the cat's whiskers to grandpa's mustache and applies the former word's meaning to describe the latter. Thus, he demonstrates a 'logical extension'.
