It's the cat's

[Benjamin Barrett]

I don't have access anymore to databases, so I hope this is an
interesting citation:

...It's a Japanese house on the hill side. Gosh, what a view. This
island is all the books say it is, and then some. Honest, it's the cat's.

This was written on March 21, 1929 by T. T. Waterman in a personal
letter, cited in sdaʔdaʔ gʷɘɬ dibɘɬ lɘšucid ʔacaciɬtalbixʷ: Puget Sound
Geography: Original Manuscript from T. T. Waterman. Edited with
additional material from Vi Hilbert, Jay Miller, and Zalmai Zahir.
