“When my cats aren't happy, I'm not happy. Not because I care about their mood but because I know they're just sitting there thinking up ways to get even.”
Percy Bysshe Shelley
“I have studied many philosophers and many cats. The wisdom of cats is infinitely superior.”
Hippolyte Taine
“As anyone who has ever been around a cat for any length of time well knows, cats have enormous patience with the limitations of the human kind.”
Cleveland Amory
“The cat, it is well to remember, remains the friend of man because it pleases him to do so and not because he must.”
Carl Van Vechten
“Dogs are our link to paradise. They don't know evil or jealousy or discontent. To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring - it was peace.”
Milan Kundera
“Your cat will never threaten your popularity by barking at three in the morning. He won't attack the mailman or eat the drapes, although he may climb the drapes to see how the room looks from the ceiling.”
Helen Powers
“The great pleasure of a dog is that you may make a fool of yourself with him and not only will he not scold you, but he will make a fool of himself too.”
Samuel Butler
