CAT BOOK CLUB VOTES TO DISCUSS ABSENT MEMBER INSTEAD.

OCTOBER 14, 2026 / BY THE CAT DISTRICT STREET DESK

For once, everybody has done the reading.

Three cats sit on separate wooden chairs in a sitting room, facing an open space beside an empty chair.

A district book club voted unanimously to discuss its absent member instead of the novel she chose. The chair called it a last-minute adjustmunt. Everyone had notes.

The discussiun began with her new collar and quickly moved to the different house she has been leaving each morning. One cat praised the complexity of her motivayshuns. Another felt the husband was poorly developed.

Members agreed this was their most produktive meeting in months. Nobody checked the time.

They have asked her to miss the next one as well, for continyooity.
