It has been a rough week for Chewie… last Saturday he woke up with a huge hematoma in his ear, so off to the vet we went to have to drained and we have had to go to the vet twice more since then to have it drained, today they also put in a staple and a couple of sutures… both kitty and momma are tired. 😞

Ruthiella Poor kitty! 😿 Hope he (and you) get some well needed rest! 3y

It‘s quite obvious my favorite #animal is a cat. My first word, other than Dad and Mom, was kitty!

My favorite escape type books are cozy mysteries. Many cozies tend to feature cats, as either part of the detecting team, or the amateur sleuth adopts one. Here‘s a newish one - set in a cat cafe! I know absolutely nothing about it, other than I had to buy it. #SebastianKitty is a reluctant model. #ayupaugust #catsoflitsy

Cinfhen #CatsOfLitsy always a popular choice 😻 5y
Sresendez12 My daughter‘s second word (after dada) was kit kit. She would point at our cats every time they walked by and say kit kit. 5y

I love cats and cozy mysteries. So both together is magic! I didn‘t figure out the murdered, which is always fun. I liked it so much I already picked up book two. #cozymystery #readwomen

This cozy mystery is the first in a new series. It was a cute, quick read. That said, it introduced a whole cast of characters that was hard to keep track, especially of the three men pursuing the MC. She seems to have difficulty keeping them all separate, as well. Many thanks to @bookish_wookish for this gift given during the #cozymysteryswap. #Mykola #CatsOfLitsy

“Interesting. I was getting the sense that smaller businesses were the redheaded stepchildren of the chamber overlords.”
Who else has heard this unusual expression? I never heard about a redheaded stepchild until I moved to East Tennessee, but this book takes place in New England.

Yellowpigeon I've heard/used it a lot. But I'm from Memphis and Nashville and have family in East Tennessee. So... Might be biased. 7y
CatLass007 @Yellowpigeon I always thought it was just a regional thing. Maybe it‘s a TENNESSEE thing. 7y

CatLass007 @mcipher Good to know. I just was wondering. 7y
tif I've heard it and I'm in Australia :) 7y
CatLass007 @tif I guess I just lived a sheltered life before I moved here. Lots of redheads in our family. 7y
tif @CatLass007 maybe the proliferation of redheads in your family meant people didn't use the phrase around you at risk of offending 😆 7y
Andrea4 It's an expression I've heard in Ontario... but who knows how these things travel; it was from a northener and they do have some odd expressions. 7y
CatLass007 @andrea4 Those of us from Appalachia also have unusual sayings. 7y
Scurvygirl We used it growing up in Massachusetts and I say it to my teenager all the time...😹 7y
readinginthedark Some people say it here in Missouri, but I've heard it more from friends East of here. 7y

Miss Molly says she is cozy here at home and is glad not to be a CAT ABOUT TOWN like JJ. She says no respectable cat wears a leash; those are for dogs. She says she wouldn‘t mind being part of a Cat Cafe family, though. Being petted and admired like the queen she is is the only way things should be. When reminded that she‘s lactose intolerant, her majesty pouted; she was hoping for some of the forbidden people food. It is a Cat Cafe, after all.

CatLass007 As long as she‘s not on the menu.😹😹😹 7y
