Kitty Corner is diagonal from the object you are describing. Catty Corner is directly opposite to the Kitty Corner position. Therefore, Catty Corner to Kitty Corner, is Kitty Corner again, if you were in a square.
Then take a polygon - say a Heptagon. Kitty Corner to one area and Caddy Corner from that point could be two different positions.

Where did the phrase kitty corner originate?
it's actually a bastardization of the word Katty corner. i don't know where the word originated. sorryAnswerThe word "cattycorner" is from the word "cater" from the French word "quatre" meaning four. See link below for more information. I'm sure that when it was used by English speaking people, they thought "cater" sounded like "catter" so they associated it with the word "cat," and that is how we got our modern version of the word. • Not doubting the prior answer here, but why then is the following... ? From Louisiana does come the term "cangkitty_yonk"(not sure of spelling), which bears the identical definition. In Iowa, I grew up with both "kitty", but mainly "katty". Minnesota uses "kitty".
