“There are many intelligent species in the universe.
They are all owned by cats.” – Anonymous
A cat improves the garden wall in sunshine, and the hearth in foul weather.
- Judith Merkle Riley
A kitten is chiefly remarkable for rushing about like mad at nothing whatsoever, and generally stopping before it gets there.
-Agnes Repplier
It is a matter to gain the affection of a cat. He is a philosophical animal, tenacious of his own habits, fond of order and neatness, and disinclined to extravagant sentiment. He will be your friend, if he finds you worthy of friendship, but not your slave.
-Theophile Gautier
A cat is there when you call her – if she doesn’t have something better to do.
-Bill Adler
The really great thing about cats is their endless variety. One can pick a cat to fit almost any kind of decor, color scheme, income, personality, mood. But under the fur; whatever color it may be, there still lies, essentially unchanged, one of the world’s free souls.
-Eric Gurney
It is in the nature of cats to do a certain amount of unescorted roaming.
-Adlai Stevenson
In the middle of a world that has always been a bit mad, the cat walks with confidence.
-Roseanne Anderson
It is remarkable, in cats, that the outer life they reveal to their master is one of perpetual confident boredom. All they betray of the hidden life is by means of symbol; if it were not for the recurring evidence of murder – the disemboweled rabbits, the headless flickers, the torn squirrels – we should forever imagine our cats to be simple pets whose highest ambition is to sleep in the best soft chair, whose worst crime is to sharpen their claws on carpeting
-Robley Wilson, Jr.
There are many intelligent species in the universe. They are all owned by cats.
-Anonymous
The cat could very well be man’s best friend but would never stoop to admitting it.
-Doug Larson
In his castle He is King And I his vassal.
-Mildred R. Howland
There are people who reshape the world by force or argument, but the cat just lies there, dozing; and the world quietly reshapes itself to suit his comfort and convenience.
-Allen and Ivy Dodd
No one can have experienced to the fullest the true sense of achievement and satisfaction who have never pursued and successfully caught his tail.
-Rosalind Welcher
