Welcome to Litsy!

Reading "Cat" with my cat! This is a poem Tolkien wrote for his granddaughter, and I can't help but think of all of the other poems about cats that I've loved, from Bukowski to Baudelaire to Atwood. And of course, first in my mind is T.S. Eliot's cat poetry for his godchildren. Anyone out there have a favorite cat poem? #FellowshipOfTolkien #CatsOfLitsy #ColeCat

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

Trying to dig into a delightful new read, but #TomKitten is back on his book-stealing bullshit. #CatsOfLitsy 🖤😸

Absurdly, one of the only things my husband and I argue about is Charles Bukowski. I despise him- abusive, misogynistic, angry and miserable. But my husband likes his style, and defiantly gifted me the tagged book a couple of years ago. I just got around to reading it, and finally found the author's humanity. Cats, man; they bring it out. "When I am feeling low, all I have to do is watch my cats and my courage returns." Same, Buk. Damn you.

Today is #NationalBlackCatDay and I am here to shout out my love for these beautiful beings! Black cats are (unfairly) considered to be unlucky, and studies tell us there are more black cats in animal shelters than any other. My two black cats, #ColeCat and #TomKitten, have added so much love and joy to my life. If you're able, consider adopting- and make it a black cat. You're welcome. 🖤🖤🖤 #CatsOfLitsy

#ColeCat makes a handy bookmark (even when you never asked for his help). #CurrentlyReading #CatsOfLitsy

#ColeCat is curious about today's chapter! And so am I, for that matter. I wonder where the twists and turns of London to Highbury back to London and a nefarious grandmother and jewelry theft are going to lead us (and Jane!). #PemberLittens #CatsOfLitsy

This is the perfect book for my #pets, the dynamic duo of #ColeCat and #TomKitten! #CatsOfLitsy #CuriousCovers

On #LoveYourPetDay, I have to celebrate #ColeCat and #TomKitten, the most maddening and completely loveable creatures I know. Here's the look they give me when I just want to read- they can't believe I would stop paying attention to them for any reason! #PetLoveDay
