Any cat who misses a mouse pretends it was aiming for the dead leaf.
Charlotte Gray
If your cat falls out of a tree, go indoors to laugh.
Patricia Hitchcock
Cats only assume their strangest, most intriguing and most beautiful postures when it is impossible
to photograph them. Cat calendars always disappoint for they only show the public range of cat positions.
J. R. Coulson
A cat isn't fussy--just as long as you remember he likes his milk in the shallow, rose-patterned saucer and his fish
on the blue plate. From which he will take it, and eat off the floor.
Arthur BridgesAesop
Kittens are wide-eyed, soft and sweet. With needles in their jaws and feet.
Pam Brown
A cat who has taken umbrage is a terrible sight to see.
Rosemary Nisbet
To some blind souls all cats are much alike. To a cat lover every cat from the beginning of time has been utterly and amazingly unique.
Jenny De Vries
The really great thing about cats is their endless variety. One can pick a cat to fit almost any kind of decor, income, personality, mood. But under the fur, there still lies, essentially unchanged, one of the world's free souls.
Eric Gurney
One small cat changes coming home to an empty house to coming home.
Pam Brown
Only cat lovers know the luxury of fur-coated, musical hot water bottles that never go cold.
Susanne Millen
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
He makes himself the companion of your hours of solitude, melancholy and toil. He remains
for whole evenings on your knee, uttering his contented purr, happy to be with you, and forsaking the company of animals of his own species.
Theophile Gautier
Places to look: behind the books in the bookshelf, any cupboard with a gap too small for
any cat to squeeze through, the top of anything sheer, under anything too low for a cat to squash under and inside the piano.
Roseanne Ambrose-Brown
Cats like doors left open, in case they change their minds.
Rosemary Nisbet
I love in the cat that independent and most ungrateful temper which prevents it from attaching itself
to anyone; the indifference with which it passes from the salon to the housetop.
Francois Rene De Chateaubriand
For me, one of the pleasures of cats' company is their devotion to bodily comfort.
Compton Mackenzie
The trouble with sharing one's bed with cats is that they'd rather sleep on you than beside you.
Pam Brown
A cat allows you to sleep on the bed. On the edge.
Jenny De Vries
A cat refuses to be the object of sentimentality--if she doesn't want to be cuddled, that's it.
Samantha Armstrong
All cats like being the focus of attention.
Peter Gray
People meeting for the first time suddenly relax if they find they both have cats. And plunge into anecdote.
Charlotte Gray
Nobody who is not prepared to spoil cats will get from them the reward they are able to give to those who do spoil them.
Compton Mackenzie
One day a cat will opt to join you while you are utterly relaxed in muscle and brain,
and with delicate miaow and a velvet paw will show you transcendental meditation by an expert.
V. Martin
Even overweight cats instinctively know the cardinal rule: when fat, arrange
yourself in slim poses.
John Weitz
If man could be crossed with a cat it would improve man, but it would deteriorate the cat.
Mark Twain
If a fish is the movement of water embodied, given shape, then a cat is a diagram and pattern of subtle air.
