Litsy

I'm so sad to have said goodbye to my favorite reading companion. It was a tough weekend and hard to have him leave us; but I'm so grateful that this sweet, good boy found his way to us and let us love him for many years. This isn't a great picture but he loved to find his way into my lap or by my side when I was settled in with a book and I'm happy to remember our best, cozy times together. 🖤❤️🌈 #ColeCat #CatsOfLitsy

Kristin Lavransdatter | Sigrid Undset

Made up a little outdoor picnic in the backyard today with some snacks, an old quilt, my #ColeCat and #DoorstopKristin. Book 2 is off to a great start, and by "great" I mean "absolutely infuriating". Erlend is a useless asshole and his estate is a filthy wreck and Kristin cries herself to sleep most nights, but I am still so bought in to this whole world and can't wait to keep going. #KLBR #CatsOfLitsy

First Love: Essays on Friendship | Lilly Dancyger

This poor Old Man has had a rough day healthwise, and while he doesn't feel up to being cuddled outright, he's happy to have me near. 🥹 Closing out the night with this wonderful (so far) read and a little extra love for my #ColeCat. #CatsOfLitsy #CurrentlyReading

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 😿 12mo

Andrea313 @CatLass007 They eventually let him back in but it's not great to read if you're a giant softy about cats. (Guilty.) 12mo

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. 12mo

CatLass007 I have had only indoor cats since I became an adult. 12mo

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. 12mo

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)⬇️ 12mo

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. 12mo

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

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

On Cats | Charles Bukowski

pick

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.

Texreader 🐈‍⬛❤️ 4y

Ruthiella Weird coincidence because this book is SO NICHE but I also just read it. I don‘t think I‘d like Bukowski as a person or a writer because of all you point out. But the man did love his cats! 4y

Black Cats Get a Bad Rap | J. G. Piper

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

rubyslippersreads Your kitties are gorgeous! 😻🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛ 4y

Andrea313 @rubyslippersreads Aww, thank you! They are total sweethearts. 4y
