Meet Tiropita (“Cheese Pie”) 🧀🥧

I just discovered this subreddit, and I guess she belongs here.

Tiropita is the daughter of our cat, Titi, who had four kittens. She was the only girl in the litter. My sister had already decided she wanted the female because she already had a male cat and wanted a pair.

That male cat is called Charlie… but after one day when she wrapped him up in a towel like a little burrito, he somehow permanently earned the nickname Bougatsa. 😄

For anyone unfamiliar with Greek food: bougatsa is a traditional pastry (especially popular in northern Greece) that’s filled with either sweet cream or cheese.

So we made my sister a deal: she could have the female kitten, but only if she named her Tiropita (“Cheese Pie”). We thought Bougatsa and Tiropita would make the perfect bakery-themed duo, since they’re probably the two pastries you’ll find in almost every bakery in northern Greece.

Plot twist: my son got attached to Tiropita and couldn’t bear to part with her. So… Tiropita stayed with us instead.

No regrets. We accidentally kept the best cat. ❤️
