This appropriately named artwork features three women sitting around a table, enjoying tea and snacks while gossiping about the latest scandal. To their right a tabby cat sits and listens attentively, his empty bowl at the foot of the chair. The inclusion of the cat in the scene reinforces the cattiness of the idle gossip being told.
