The
most domestic cat, which has lain on a rug
all her days, appears quite at home on the
woods, and, by her sly and stealthy
behavior, proves herself more native there
than the regular inhabitants.
Henry David Thoreau |

The
trouble with cats is that they've got no
tact.
P G Wodehouse |

Cats
may be insecure deep down, but they never
let you see it. I always love their air.
They're like the man who broke the bank at
Monte Carlo.

There
was a sound between them. A warm and
contented sound like the murmur of giant
bees in a hollow tree.

It
is bred and is an Inhabitant of almost all
Countries in the World, all Cats were at
first wild, but were at length tamed by
the industry of Mankind; it is a Beast of
prey, even the tame one, more especially
in the wild, it being in the opinion of
many nothing but a diminuitive Lyon.
William Salmon (1693) |

There
are certain things in Nature in which
beauty and utility, artistic and technical
perfection, combine in some
incomprehensible way, the web of a spider,
the wing of a dragon-fly, the superbly
streamlined body of the porpoise, and the
movements of a cat.
Konrad Lorenz |

Can
the leopard change his spots?

The
panther is like a leopard,
Except it hasn't been peppered!
Ogden Nash |

All
you have to remember is Rule 1: when in
doubt-- Wash.
Paul Gallico |

He
shut his eyes while Saha (the cat) kept
vigil, watching all the invisible signs
that hover over sleeping human beings when
the light is put out.
Colette |
