Cats Quotes

It is remarkable, in cats, that the outer life they reveal to their masters is one of perpetual boredom.
Robley Wilson, Jr.

It's really the cat's house - we just pay the mortgage.

I put down my book, The Meaning of Zen, and see the cat smiling into her fur as she delicately combs it with her rough pink tongue. "Cat, I would lend you this book to study but it appears you have already read it." She looks up and gives me her full gaze. "Don't be ridiculous," she purrs, "I wrote it."
Dilys Laing, "Miao"

One cat just leads to another.
Ernest Hemingway

One must love a cat on its own terms.
Paul Gray

Cats as a class, have never completely got over the snootiness caused by that fact that in Ancient Egypt they were worshipped as gods.
P.G. Wodehouse

Some people say man is the most dangerous animal on the planet. Obviously those people have never met an angry cat.
Lillian Johnson

Cats are to dogs what modern people are to the people we used to have. Cats are slimmer, cleaner, more attractive, disloyal, and lazy. It's easy to understand why the cat has eclipsed the dog as modern America's favorite pet. People like pets to possess the same qualities they do. Cats are irresponsible and recognize no authority, yet are completely dependent on others for their material needs. Cats cannot be made to do anything useful. Cats are mean for the fun of it. In fact, cats possess so many of the same qualities as some people (expensive girlfriends, for instance) that it's often hard to tell the people and the cats apart. P.J. O'Rourke, Modern Manners
