#tabitha twitchit

Also I don't like to post about myself much anymore because my life is just one southern gothic post-capitalist nightmare after another and I don't wanna make other people as depressed as I am.

BUT.

Life may be a cold and broken hallelujah, but small new kitty I got a few months ago is soft and warm. This bug-eyed creatura is Tabitha Twitchit.

Bonus: Los Frijoles

Hullo! Sorry for not posting here so much, I’m more active on twitter!

Fuzzney and T. Twitchit by Molly Dean

Mrs. Tabitha Twitchit is a fictional cat invented by Beatrix Potter (1866-1943). She is a shopkeeper and the mother of three kittens, Moppet, Mittens and Tom Kitten. She first appeared in 'The Tale of the Pie and the Patty-Pan' in 1905. She also appeared in 'The Story of Miss Moppet' (1906), 'The Tale of Tom Kitten' (1907), 'The Tale of Samuel Whiskers or The Roly-Poly Pudding' (1908), and 'The Tale of Ginger and Pickles' (1909).

In the books, Tabitha is usually shown standing on her hind legs, wearing fashionable clothes. She works in a shop and lives with her kittens in a house based on the author's house at Hill Top Farm. She is named after a cat that lived on the farm with Beatrix Potter.

In 'The Tale of Tom Kitten', Tabitha is planning a tea party for her friends. After dressing her kittens in their best clothes, she is horrified to discover them running around the gardening and getting dirty. To punish them, she sends the kittens to bed and tells her friends they have the measles.
