Loneliness is comforted by the closeness and touch of fur to fur, skin to skin,
or--skin to fur.
Paul Gallico
Cats love one so much--more than they will allow. But they have so much wisdom
they keep it to themselves.
Mary E. Wilkins Freeman
The cat, it is well to remember, remains the friend of man because it pleases him
to do so and not because he must.
Carl Van Vechten
The cat always leaves a mark on his friend.
Aesop
It is impossible for a lover of cats to banish these alert, gentle, and discriminating
little friends, who give us just enough of their regard and complaisance to make us
hunger for more.
Agnes Repplier
Cats don't bark and act brave when they see something small in fur or feathers, they kill it. Dogs tend to bravado. They're braggerts. In the great evolutionary drama the dog is Sgt. Bilko, the cat is Rambo.
James Gorman
Cats are smarter than dogs. You can not get eight cats to pull a sled through the snow.
Jeff Valdez
Dogs come when they're called; cats take a message and get back to you
later.
Mary Bly
The cat has too much spirit to have no heart.
Ernest Menaul
One cat just leads to another.
Ernest Hemingway
Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.
Robert A. Heinlein
Cats are rather delicate creatures and they are subject to a good many
ailments, but I never heard of one who suffered from insomnia.
Joseph Wood Krutch
When you're special to a cat, you're special indeed...she brings to you the gift of her preference of you, the sight of you, the sound of your voice, the touch of your hand.
Lenore Fleischer
To bathe a cat takes brute force, perseverance, courage of conviction--and a cat. The last ingredient is usually the hardest to come by.
Stephen Baker
The cat pretends to sleep, the better to see.
Francois-Auguste Rene de Chateaubriand
One of the most striking differences between a cat and a lie is that a cat has only nine lives.
Mark Twain
Once cats were all wild, but afterward they retired to houses.
Edward Topsell
The only mystery about the cat is why it ever decided to become a domestic animal.
Sir Compton Mackenzie
There is, indeed, no single quality of the cat that man could not emulate to his advantage.
Carl Van Vechten
Cats, no less liquid than their shadows, offer no angles to the wind. They slip, diminished, neat, through loopholes less than themselves.
A.S.J. Tessimond
To respect a cat is the beginning of the aesthetic sense.
Erasmus Darwin
Cats are love on four legs.
Richard Torregrossa
Anyone who claims that a cat cannot give a dirty look either has never kept a cat or is singularly unobservant.
Maurice Burton
I suspect that many an ailurophobe (a person who fears or hates cats) hates cats only because he feels they are better people than he is--more honest, more secure, more loved, more whatever he is not.
Winifred Carriere
If you would know what a cat is thinking about,
you must hold its paw in your hand for a long time...
