Nature
breaks through the eyes of the cat.
- Irish proverb
Life
with a cat is in certain ways a one-sided proposition.
Cats are not educable; humans are. Moreover, cats know
this. If you are not willing to humor them, you might
as well stick to dogs.
- Terry Teachout
The
Cat. He walked by himself, and all places were alike
to him.
- Rudyard Kipling
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
Of
all God's creatures there is only one that cannot be
made the slave of the lash. That one is the cat. If
man could be crossed with the cat, it would improve
man, but it would deteriorate the cat.

Mark Twain
A
cat that catches mice does not meow.

When
I play with my cat, who knows whether she is not amusing

Anyone
who claims that a cat cannot give a dirty look either

cat may look at a king.
- John Heywood
It
has been the providence of nature to give this creature
nine lives instead of one.

A
home without a cat—and a well-fed, well-petted and properly
revered cat—may be a home, perhaps, but how can it prove
title?
- Mark Twain
He
walked by himself, and all places were alike to him.
- Rudyard Kipling
The
trouble with a kitten is
That
Eventually it becomes a
Cat.

and monkeys, monkeys and cats--all human life is there.

Cats
seem to go on the principal that it never does any harm
to ask for what you want.
