You have learned enough to see that cats are much like you and me. T.S. Elliot
You can't own a cat. The best you can do is be partners. Sir Harry Swanson
To gain the friendship of a cat is a difficult thing. The cat is a philosophical, methodical, quiet animal, tenacious of its own habits, fond of order and
cleanliness, and it does not lightly confer its friendship. If you are worthy of
its affection, a cat will be your friend, but never your slave. He keeps his free
will, though he loves, and he will not do for you what he thinks is
unreasonable. But if he once gives himself to you it is with absolute
confidence and affection.
Theophile Gautier (1850)
A walking, prancing, pouncing, sun-soaking, sleeping machine. Thomas Gato
Time spent with a cat is never wasted. Colette
Cats seem to go on the principle that it never does any harm
to ask for what you want. Jospeh Wood Krutch
Dogs come when they are called; cats take a message and get back to you. Mary Bly
I love my little kitty
Her coat is so warm.
And if I don't hurt her
She'll do me no harm.
I won't pull her tail,
Or drive her away
And kitty and I
Very gently will play.
Mother Goose
Dogs teach you how to love. Cats teach you how to live. Merrit Malloy
