“Animals are my friends, and I don't eat my friends”
George Bernard Shaw

James Herriot
“Cats always know whether people like or dislike them. They do not always care enough to do anything about it.”
Winifred Carriere
“It is difficult to obtain the friendship of a cat. It is a philosophical animal...one that does not place its affections thoughtlessly.”
Theophile Gautier
“Mankind differs from the animals only by a little and most people throw that away.”
Confucius
