Cat Quotes 6:12

“Any cat who misses a mouse pretends it was aiming for the dead leaf.” —Charlotte Gray

Cats don’t like to miss. They prefer to play with their prey and never want anyone see them miss or get klutzy for one moment. It’s just the way they are.

French novelist Colette was a firm cat-lover. When she was in the U.S. she saw a cat sitting in the street. She went over to talk to it and the two of them mewed at each other for a friendly minute. Colette turned to her companion and exclaimed, “Enfin! Quelqu’un qui parle français!” (At last! Someone who speaks French!) —Anonymous

I do write novels and I can be quite silly with cats. Especially when talking to them. Cats speak their own language and yet they tend to understand human languages as well. It’s comforting when in a place where the human language is different, cats are still using the same language.

Cat Quotes 6:11

“Poets generally love cats—because poets have no delusions about their own superiority.” —Marion Garretty

I do write poetry. I have lots of poetry books and I do love cats. I also have no delusions about my supposed superiority. I just am and let the cats tell me what they need and want when they want to.

“Everything a cat is and does physically is to me beautiful, lovely, stimulating, soothing, attractive and an enchantment.” —Paul Gallico, from “An Honourable Cat”

Cats can be enchanting. I don’t know how they are able to defy gravity and then succumb to it. They just do it with grace that I sometimes wish I had of my own. But, at least they show me the way and I can watch them and learn.

Cat Quotes 6:10

“Some cats is blind, And stone-deaf some, But ain’t no cat wuz ever dumb.” —Anthony Euwer

Cats aren’t dumb. They are quite intelligent. That’s why they don’t talk all the time. Now if humans could understand that, then perhaps they won’t expect us all to make polite conversation all the time.

“The cat has been described as the most perfect animal, the acme of muscular perfection and the supreme example in the animal kingdom of the coordination of mind and muscle.” —Roseanne Ambrose Brown

Cats are better athletes than I could ever be. They have control over every muscle in their body and all their movements are graceful and elegant. They don’t appear to have to try hard to be like this. They just are.

Cat Quotes 6:09

“It is in their eyes that their magic resides.” —Arthur Symons

Cats can be magical. Cats can play with fairies we may not see. Cats know what magic is. That’s why in the Sims, cats always know which sims are witches and which ones are not.

“A cat is a puzzle for which there is no solution.” —Hazel Nicholson

Cats do puzzle many people. I personally don’t care if cats are a puzzle. They make my life much better just by being around. Perhaps the more puzzling thing is why so many of us like to live with cats.

Cat Quote 6:08

“A cat can purr its way out of anything.” —Donna McCrohan

I love it when cats purr. It’s so comforting and feels good. Cats are quite adorable when they purr, it’s no wonder they can get out of anything they so choose. They know how to wrap us around their little paws and get their way every time they choose.

“My cat does not talk as respectfully to me as I do to her.” —Colette

Cats don’t use any form of formality or politeness. They are blunt and direct to the point. It’s one of the many things I love about them. I know they don’t play games unless they are playful. When playful, they aren’t interested in hurting me or getting their way at my expense.

“A cat is there when you call her—if she doesn’t have something better to do.” —Bill Adler

Sure, we can call cats to us when we want them, but if they are busy, then they won’t show up. It’s just the way it is. It’s better to wait until they come to you and then it’s wonderful. Cats are just that independent.

“Since each of us is blessed with only one life, why not live it with a cat?” —Robert Stearns

I can certainly agree. After living with cats for quite a long time, I can’t stand to live without one. I am heartbroken when they die, but I let them go and go search for another cat to keep me company. Usually one comes along.

Dogs are all too famous for wolfing their food as fast as they can. Cats, on the other paw, tend to take their time and clean themselves afterwards. Cats have manners and know how to use them.

“…You are my cat and I am your human.” —Hilaire Belloc

I feel this way with any cat I live with. I know they have claimed me and I tell them that I feel the same way. I know I don’t own them and that’s just fine with the both of us. It’s quite the arrangement which suits us all.

Cat Quotes 6:05

“If cats could talk, they wouldn’t.” —Nan Porter

Many cats don’t talk if they don’t have to. But some feel the need to tell their humans as much as they can until their humans understand. Sometimes their humans talk to them. I know I talk to my cats and I don’t expect them to answer me.

“Every life should have nine cats.” —Anonymous

Perhaps this goes too far. Some humans just shouldn’t live with cats for various reasons. I do love cats and love to live with at least one. They enrich my life with their presence. I have become a better person because of cats. I’m sure they know that.

“Our perfect companions never have fewer than four feet.” —Colette

Cats are perfect companions. They purr. They cuddle. They talk the right amount. And best of all, they accept us exactly the way we are and love us unconditionally. They are easy to love unconditionally and accept them as they are.

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

Sitting cats are quite calm. They are so calm that they must know the secret to true meditation, which some humans have yet to fully understand or even try. I do try to learn from cats so I can do true meditation without all the silly inane rules.

Cat Quotes 6:03

“If you want to know the character of a man, find out what his cat thinks of him.” —Anonymous

Cats do form opinions of the humans they live with. Whether good or bad depends upon how we treat them. I’d recommend kindness to the cats or else they might not form a good opinion of you. But you have to mean the kindness or else the cats will know you to be a liar.

“The smallest feline is a masterpiece.” —Leonardo Da Vinci

Cats are majestic and elegant in ways I don’t know if I can achieve by myself. So, graceful in every movement. From jumping to running around crazily. Cats know what it means to be a living work of art.
