Ponyboy | Eliot Duncan

I made a stack of books to reshelve; he knocked them over and promptly laid down. #menace #TomKitten #CatsOfLitsy

Ruthiella Clearly your priorities are wrong. That cat is in desperate need of attention! 😹😻 3d

Andrea313 @Ruthiella Oh, desperate need! He never gets any love, attention, food, treats, pets, anything! 😭 3d

Socks | Beverly Cleary

pick

As a cat-obsessed 7 year-old, Socks was the first Beverly Cleary book I ever read. In a fit of nostalgia, I bought this old copy and my cat-loving heart has only softened with age because what do you mean they threw their beloved pet out and made him live in the garage?!?! Cleary's descriptions of Socks' loneliness and bewilderment in the midst of a new baby coming still tug at my heart and made me hug my own #TomKitten and #ColeCat more closely.

CatLass007 😿 5mo

Andrea313 @CatLass007 They eventually let him back in but it's not great to read if you're a giant softy about cats. (Guilty.) 5mo

CatLass007 The only time something like this ever actually happened in my family was when we had an 8-year-old male cat who was indoor/outdoor (the only way my dad would let us have a cat at all). My brother brought home a female kitten and my Mom put her foot down and insisted this would be an indoor only kitty. Our male cat adopted one of the neighbors and he lived at least another eight years. The neighbor and my dad became the best of friends. 5mo

CatLass007 I have had only indoor cats since I became an adult. 5mo

Andrea313 @CatLass007 My cats like to spend time in our backyard when the weather is nice, but they get brought in around dinnertime and kept in. I know some cats like to roam (we had one like that when I was a kid) but as a pet owner myself, I wouldn't let it happen. 5mo

CatLass007 My two female kitties are door divers. Molly is 15 now, which is one reason why she doesn‘t try to get outside as much as she used to. The other reason is because I keep a planter with cat grass available for her. Molly is the only cat I‘ve ever met who likes loud noises. She loves the vacuum cleaner. When I sneeze the other three run away. Molly always runs to me and looks at me with concern or maybe just puzzlement. Anjali is 7 and I (cont)⬇️ 5mo

CatLass007 must be on constant alert when doors are opened. My fellas couldn‘t care less about the outdoors. Benjamin runs away when an outside door is opened. Tiberius? Well, he‘s just himself, perfectly content to stay indoors. He‘s a huge marmalade cat with a tremendous purr and a squeaky toy voice. He doesn‘t even say anything resembling meow, he just squeaks. 5mo

Theatre of the Unimpressed: In Search of Vital Drama | Jordan Tannahill

so-so

I liked this one more than I didn't, but in taking aim at "boring" theatre, the author comes off as supercilious, as if his tastes, ideas, and aesthetics are superior to all else. I agree that we need more boldness in theatre, that there need to be new approaches to the development of new plays and the structures of arts institutions, that artists need more freedom to fail- but I also wish we could be more "Yes, and..." in our thinking. ???

Andrea313 YES to the plays that wrestle with form and structure, that interrogate the so-called canon and its usefulness. But YES also to glossy Broadway musicals and regional revivals of The Crucible and the children's theatre that brings up our next generation of audience and practitioners. Please, let's let theatre be expansive and multi-faceted and allow more and more and more ways for us to engage with it. Bonus #TomKitten because he's always lurking! 11mo

The Adventures of Tom Bombadil | J.R.R. Tolkien

so-so

It was really fun to revisit this little collection of Tolkien's poems. They're a mixed bag for me, but where he's good, he's really, really good. My own reading buddy #TomKitten kept me company most nights, so here he is, pictured with his namesake. #FellowshipOfTolkien #CatsOfLitsy

A Scatter of Light | Malinda Lo

pick

Bringing in this new year with a much-anticipated book and my buddy #TomKitten next to me. I loved Melinda Lo's Last Night at the Telegraph Club and this one is a lovely companion novel, unafraid to lean into uncertainty, melancholy, and a little bit of mess as the young characters grapple with identities and relationships changing and growing. I'm a Lo fan for life now; excited to seek out her other titles!

Both #TomKitten and #ColeCat are doing their best to thwart my year-end reading. Really trying to knock out a few more titles over here, but cats are gonna be cats, eh? #CatsOfLitsy #BlackCats

Queerly Beloved: A Novel | Susie Dumond

Had to break out a decoy book so that #TomKitten would let me read. Anyone else have a pet who needs to be all up in your shit at all times? 😂 #CatsOfLitsy

RaeLovesToRead Too cute! 🤣🤣🤣 @Ruthiella was just about to say the same thing! 2y
