TL *Humaning the Best She Can*’s Reviews > Chai and Cat-tales > Status Update

Priye had learned from Elder Sister that humans could smile with all their teeth and think it was friendly, and sometimes it was. Sometimes when humans smiled with all their teeth they liked you and gave you a little piece of yarn to play with.

Elder Sister didn’t explain it that way, of course. But Priye knew words were meant for humans to bite each other with. Because words were powerful and human teeth and claws weren’t sharp enough to really bite and scratch properly, so they needed other ways of yowling.

Words were powerful, words changed the world.

Different humans used different words and a lot of them didn’t go together and if you said them wrong people laughed at you, both human people and cat people. Or sometimes they got angry about using the wrong words, or saying them wrong, or using the wrong set of them, or tangling up words from different sets.
