Nope. It is someone* speaking (in part) about Frodo, but not to Frodo.
* I use the term "someone" somewhat loosely.

Does the Kitty have eight legs?
Also, is someone an orc?

If there was anything that depressed him more than his own cynicism, it was that quite often it still wasn't as cynical as real life.

No, but a similarly dire place.

Quoting so it's visible.Voronwë the Faithful wrote:This one is fun.
One can be, to catch the cat and Kitty told him to escape.

Is it an actual quote or the thoughts of Shelob?

No. As I said to Frelga, the "someone" (e.g., the speaker), is an Orc.

Oh right, I misread that! I think its Shagrat and Gorbag in the tower of Cirith Ungol, but I'd need to check the quote. Something about the big Tark (Sam) still loose, and they caught the mouse but let the cat escape...
ETA: It was actually in the tunnel before they get back to the tower, and it was a kitten, not a mouse!

It won't sound too pretty to say you've caught the kitten and let the cat escape.
