Here is what she found on a google search:<br /><br />This expression, meaning “diagonally opposite,” was formed from a misspelling in English of the French word quatre (“four”) prefixed to “corner.” Although the word has nothing to do with cats or kittens, in various dialects all three spellings are acceptable: “catty,” “cater” or “kitty.” <br /><br />We like the kitty in the corner, thank you.<br /><br />Play bows, Phantom and Thunder♥♥ The OP Pack ♥♥https://www.blogger.com/profile/07539957828544908415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-952310133362860640.post-88603957488868045402010-01-07T17:23:48.185-08:002010-01-07T17:23:48.185-08:00I've always said kitty corner :)I've always said kitty corner :)Live, Love, Laugh, Write!https://www.blogger.com/profile/07004471744200892329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-952310133362860640.post-89629965723340733722010-01-07T15:27:01.324-08:002010-01-07T15:27:01.324-08:00We say catty corner, and we like your catty corner...We say catty corner, and we like your catty corner.Catline Crewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05059275333820338069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-952310133362860640.post-38473946315066575222010-01-07T14:31:46.029-08:002010-01-07T14:31:46.029-08:00Khatty
