Cat Quotes 3:08

Even the stupidest cat seems to know more than any dog. —Eleanor Clark

Dogs are content to please and be good for their humans. Cats know how to get the same care without having to please. They can get what they need and want from their humans without those things. They can be quite adorable. They know what they are doing. It’s no wonder that I can’t say no to them.

A cat has absolute emotional honesty: human beings, for one reason or another, may hide their feelings, but a cat does not. —Ernest Hemingway

Cats have no reason to hide what they feel. They have no filters and don’t care what we really think of them. Humans tend to worry about what others think of them and feel the need to hide how they really feel. Perhaps are right to be emotionally honest.

Cat Quotes 3:07

Some people say that cats are sneaky, evil, and cruel. True, and they have many other fine qualities as well. —Missy Dizick

Yes, cats are sneaky. But evil and cruel? They could be if you treat them badly. If you treat them well, they can be the most devoted friends you’ll ever have in your life. They can be happy to see you and play with you. But only if you treat them as well as they think they deserve or even better than that.

As every cat owner knows, nobody owns a cat. —Ellen Perry Berkeley

I’ve never owned a cat. It’s just not possible. I’ve lived with cats and they knew I didn’t own them. I wouldn’t even dare to own a cat. It’s more fun to be partners. It certainly makes playtime that much better for all of us.

Cat Quotes 3:06

Cats do not have to be shown how to have a good time, for they are unfailing ingenious in that respect. —James Mason

Cats have a grand old time in my presence. They’ve given me some great pointers on how to have a good time with them. They never seemed to mind when I was watching them. I know they watch me too. All the wrestling Sir Socks and Spot have done in front of me was amazing to watch.

Meow is like aloha — it can mean anything. —Hank Ketchum

Of course meow means a lot of different things. Cats tend to use one syllable over and over again until we understand them. They know we can’t completely understand whatever they say, but that never stops them from talking to us when they need to.

Cat Quotes 3:05

Prowling his own quiet backyard or asleep by the fire, he is still only a whisker away from the wilds. —Jean Burden

Cats can revert to their wild side faster than any human ever could. Cats can also come back inside the house and act more civilized than any human ever could after having a wild time out in the wild. I remember when Spot was outside how he would hide in the grass and stare at me. Yet, when I called his name, he came right to me.

The mathematical probability of a common cat doing exactly as it pleases is the one scientific absolute in the world. —Lynn M. Osband

Cat math is something which I don’t fully understand. They have their own rules and can calculate easily how to get whatever they want and as soon as they want it. That is one thing I’ve learned from living with all the cats I have in my life.

Cat Quotes 3:04

There’s no need for a piece of sculpture in a home that has a cat. —Wesley Bates

Cats are indeed quite beautiful. I’d prefer a live one to any piece of sculpture, which cats could easily break when they play with it. I don’t have any knickknacks anymore because Spot used to knocked them off the floor.

Cats’ hearing apparatus is built to allow the human voice to easily go in one ear and out the other. —Stephen Baker

It can seem as if cats just let human voices go through without paying that much attention to what we say. Too many humans say a lot without meaning much of anything at all. That’s probably why cats tune us out.

Cat Quotes 3:03

Cats always know whether people like or dislike them. They do not always care enough to do anything about it. —Winifred Carriere

Cats are intuitive and know who likes them and who are fans. They know who can’t stand them. Cats don’t care what we think of them. They will continue to be themselves no matter what we think or how we feel about them. Perhaps cats are on to something with that attitude.

If a cat does something, we call it instinct; if we do the same thing, for the same reason, we call it intelligence. —Will Cuppy

Both humans and cats have instincts. They come into play when we need them. But it’s only the prejudicial humans who have no proof who insist humans are intelligent and cats are instinctual. Why overlook the obvious when it’s the simplest reason that is the best reason to ever use and research when it comes to science?

Cat Quotes 3:02

A meow massages the heart. —Stuart McMillan

There is nothing like a cat talking. They don’t even have to be talking to me. They could be talking to another cat and I don’t mind listening to them. They are people with a different language. They know I have a had time with their language, but they have their ways of talking to me with a simple meow.

If we treated everyone we meet with the same affection we bestow upon our favorite cat, they, too, would purr. —Martin Buxbaum

So true for the most part. If we all treated each other better, we would get better treatment in return. Cats know this better than many humans who are too selfish and inconsiderate to even be nice to others. Or even perhaps to themselves.

Cat Quotes 3:01

Cats can be cooperative when something feels good, which, to a cat, is the way everything is supposed to feel as much of the time as possible. —Roger Caras

Perhaps cats are on to something by being cooperative when it feels good. I have noticed the cats I live with aren’t too bad to get along with because I treat them with respect. To me they are people and they deserve to be treated as people. In return, cats are kind to me much of the time.

Like a graceful vase, a cat, even when motionless, seems to flow. —George F. Will

Cats have a grace I’ve never mastered. Even in motion, they tend to have better coordination than I’ve ever had. That’s why I can watch them for hours and find myself waiting to drawing them or write about them.

Cat Quotes 2:12

Kittens are born with their eyes shut. They open them in about six days, take a look around, then close them again for the better part of their lives. —Stephen Baker

According to cats, it is imperative to have an active dream life. It can replace a mundane boring life any time. We have much to learn from cats. In dreams we can be anything and do anything. There are no limits except those we set for ourselves. Real life isn’t always like that.

No amount of time can erase the memory of a good cat, and no amount of masking tape can ever totally remove his fur from your couch. —Leo Dworken

It’s rough when a cat dies. Their memory lives on inside of us. And their hair is just hard to clean up from the furniture without damaging it or damaging a vacuum cleaner. Long live the good cat.

Cat Quotes 2:11

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

They do have patience. I would know. As a klutz, I used to drop things on the floor all the time and disturb Sir Socks Le Chat’s nap on a regular basis. That is until he realized I wasn’t doing it on purpose. Then he learned to get out of the way and talk to me so I wouldn’t step on him in the dark.

Even the stupidest cat seems to know more than any dog. —Eleanor Clark

Dogs don’t really care to know much. They know how to please and make us happy. A cat knows more and how to get what they need and want without having to please us.
