What? Now some of you southerner's will know right off what I am talking about, so for the Yankees, I will explain. Catheads are a southern term for a certain recipe of biscuits served up in the South.
Catheads are light, fluffy and tender biscuits that got their name because they are as big as a cat's head. Well that, of course, can be altered and you can make them as big or as small as you want!
My maternal grandmother served Catheads with every single meal that she put on the table. They were a family favorite. I do believe that my grandfather required them at each meal to be honest. I have nice childhood memories of him asking for someone to, "Please pass the Catheads!!"
Thank you to @porwest fro inspiring this discussion!!
Look up the recipe if you are curious and give it a try!

I haven’t had catheads in a long time. No matter how hot or cold it was, my grandmother (dad’s mom) cooked them when we went there for a meal.

Dad wanted biscuits and gravy at breakfast every day. I burned out on gravy before I was 13 years old and still won't eat gravy. Mom refused to cook biscuits and gravy after dad passed away. She had burned out on that, too.
Once every couple of years, Pretty will ask me to make biscuits filled with meat for a meal...
