Cat Quotes 4:01

Most beds sleep up to six cats. Ten cats without the owner. —Stephen Baker

Cats certainly will sleep in a bed if they want to. Seems to me they will take over the bed if they like the human who sleeps in it. I do like it when they sleep with me, but I can’t count on as cats do as they please whenever they want.

Of all animals, he alone attains to the Contemplative Life. He regards the wheel of existence from without, like the Buddha. There is no pretense of sympathy about the cat. He lives alone, aloft, sublime, in a wise passiveness. —Andrew Lang

I’ve watched cats for years and I know they are wise. They know how to meditate and can do yoga without being taught. I’ve done my best to learn the wisdom of the universe from cats.

Vet

A vet is a doctor for animals. Cats don’t always like to visit them unless they like traveling and meeting strangers. Vets can and do give life saving vaccines which is preventative medicine cats need to live longer lives. With such good things, I do hope cats can tolerate it. I know I don’t always like seeing doctors either. I do understand why cats don’t always like to see a vet as I’ve had some bad doctors. Hopefully, cats will only see the good vets and their lives improved with better health and happiness.

Cat Quotes 3:12

One reason we admire cats is for their proficiency in one-upmanship. They always seem to come out on top, no matter what they are doing, or pretend they do. —Barbara Webster

Cats are inspiring. They inspire me to write about them and admire how well they come out on top even when they technically fail and manage to recover quickly. Perhaps they aren’t willing to give up on themselves and are motivated to do better next time. They certainly do learn not to make the same mistake twice.

The ideal of calm exists in a sitting cat. —Jules Reynard

Cats are good at lying and sitting quite still. Combine that with a purr and I feel as if I’ve reached Nirvana with them leading the way. Cats don’t have to study how to meditate. They are born knowing how. I’m still learning from them.

Laughing

Laughing is something some cats do. They play happily and will laugh as they are playing. They laugh when they are around their favorite human. They are the kind of cats who have to play and love to be around others. They tend to be much more outgoing than I am. Cat laughter doesn’t sound like human laughter. It’s quieter, but can still be recognized as such.

Cat Quotes 3:11

In the beginning, God created man, but seeing him so feeble, He gave him the cat. —Warren Eckstein

Of course God gave us cats to guide us and teach us better social skills. Who better than to teach us than cats? With their emotional honesty and simple view of the world, I’ve learned more from them than living with humans.

There are few things in life more heartwarming than to be welcomed by a cat. —Tay Hohoff

When cats aren’t ignoring me, it is a real blessing to be greeted by them when I get home. Any cat I’ve lived with is usually quite happy to see me when I get back to their house, especially if I’ve been gone for hours.

Head Butts

When a cat approaches a human and head butts the human, it’s a form of affection. It’s a way for the cat to tell the human how they feel. It is just one of the many things a cat will do to a human to tell the human the cat loves them. It’s not a form of abuse. Cats tend to play rough each other and their favorite humans. Cats tend to treat their favorite humans as honorary cats. That’s why cats give their favorite humans head butts.

Cat Quotes 3:10

You can’t own a cat. The best you can do is be partners. —Sir Harry Swanson

To me cats are people. People cannot be owned. Ergo, cats can’t be owned and they know it. But we can be partners and share our lives together.

There are no ordinary cats. —Colette

Each cat is special. Many may have things in common with each other, but none are exactly the same. It doesn’t matter if the coats are identical, they aren’t the same. They are extraordinary in their own way. Each cat who has shared their life with mine have all shown me how extraordinary they can be.

Purr

One of the best things about cats is their purr. When I pet them and make them happy and comfortable, they tend to purr for me. It’s a calming and relaxing sound I can hear and feel. It makes me want to cuddle up to the cat and keep them purring. It could be a cat’s way of meditating. It’s even better when I can hold the cat as a human baby and feel their purr within my own heart.

Meow/Miaou

Whenever cats talk, most humans hear meow or miaou. Or perhaps even spelled a different way from either of those. It’s hard to say if the cat is reciting one of their latest poems or an article for a magazine, or just hi, but one thing is clear. Cats do talk to their humans. Cats do have things to say. Not necessarily all the time. Sometimes they ask us questions or confirm what they think we are saying to them. Make no mistake meow or miaou means a lot coming from a cat even if humans don’t always know what it means.

Cat Quotes 3:09

If animals could speak the dog would be a a blundering outspoken fellow, but the cat would have the rare grace of never saying a word too much. —Mark Twain

I’ve known a lot of cats in my life and I can say they don’t usually talk unless they have something to say. I’ve had more talkative cats that bordered on too much, but then they would stop and there would be peace and quiet. I do like how quiet cats are.

Dogs I have noticed don’t alway stop talking and take it too far.

The smallest feline is a masterpiece. —Leonardo da Vinci

Of course every feline even the smallest one is a masterpiece. They are graceful and have that hard to identify quality which many humans tend to lack. It’s one of the many reasons cats make wonderful little companions.
