Cat Quotes 2:10

How we behave toward cats here below determines our status in heaven. —Robert A. Heinlein

I’m sure this is true. If we treat cats well and tend to their every need and whim, we’re sure to find a good status later on. If we treat them mean and are cruel to them, well good luck surviving your next life.

Cats know how to obtain food without labor, shelter without confinement, and love without penalties. —W. L. George

They are charmers. That’s how they get what they need without working for it. They know they are adorable and we will fall for it every single time. They get us to love them and we do without fail. Even when they sneak out of the house to have an adventure without us. Then they come home as if nothing happened.

Cat Quotes 2:09

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

It only sounds like meow to us humans. There are subtle nuances to every meow we hear unless the cat is repeating the same syllable to a human who just doesn’t understand more complex sentences they can speak among themselves.

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

This is very true. If you ask any cat they will tell you bluntly that you can never ever own one of them. I don’t even try to own one. I just live with them.

Cat Quotes 2:08

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

Cats don’t have to worry about much of anything especially when they have a human to provide them lots of food. So, they know they are safe and cared for. Ergo, they can afford to do as they please.

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

Yes, they know to sleep when they are tired. To eat when they are hungry. And to play as much as possible, even if it means driving us crazy as they do so.

Cat Quotes 2:07

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

It would certainly appear so. But don’t be fooled. Cats might just be ignoring you. Or perhaps they didn’t like what you said to them. Sometimes it’s just hard to judge their reactions to us all the time.

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

I can’t say I understand why some people insist cats are domesticated. They aren’t. They have fooled you if you believe it. My cat son adored me and seemed very tamed. That is until he hid in the grass as the big cats do.

Cat Quotes 2:06

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

Cats are real and living pieces of art. They have so much grace. They are quite athletic. All the jumping they can do. The climbing. The loafing. All with such grace as to make us believe they have some secrets we haven’t mastered yet.

The trouble with cats is that they’ve got no tact. —P. G. Wodehouse

Cats are bold. They will tell you what they think of you without caring how you will react to it. They don’t sugar coat the truth. They just tell you plain and simple. They don’t need to tact to tell us anything.

Cat Quotes 2:05

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

Cats are highly intelligent. Yet, they are rather apathetic at the same time. They are sensitive and do know who’s a crazy cat person and who isn’t. They know when they are instantly liked and loved and when they are not. They also know when your opinion of them changes. But that doesn’t mean they care about what you think about them.

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

Cats are animals and so are humans. I know there are plenty who would insist humans aren’t animals, but they are the ones who are blind. They are denying our biology. We haven’t even proved we are better than any animal on this planet. Just because we can’t understand why non-human animals behave or think doesn’t make them less intelligent than ourselves. It just means we don’t know everything.

Cat Quotes 2:04

Cats are the ultimate narcissists. You can tell this by all the time they spend on personal grooming. Dogs aren’t like this. A dog’s idea of personal grooming is to roll in a dead fish. —James Gorman

So, grooming is more important to cats than dogs. You don’t usually have to worry about bathing a cat. They take care of that themselves. But dogs, you have to bathe them or else they just won’t stay clean.

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

Of course I spoil any cat I live with. It’s my job as a crazy cat lady or a gattara. I enjoy every minute of it. It just makes the cats so happy…

Cat Quotes 2:03

Cats are intended to teach us that not everything in nature has a purpose. —Garrison Keillor

Cats don’t have a purpose? What about putting us in our place? What about teaching us we aren’t the only intelligent species on this planet? What about teaching us how to treat them with respect to earn their respect in return?

A meow massages the heart. —Stuart McMillan

Yes, it does. It’s wonderful to hear a pleasant meow. A greeting or Nuri’s happy sound. The sound she makes when she is happy to see me and will let me pick her up and cuddle her as she purrs.

Cat Quotes 2:02

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

This is why bribery works with cats. You find out what their favorite treat is and they will do anything for that particular treat. It works whenever I have to keep Nuri in one room and either she gets out or I can keep her in by offering her some treats.

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

It must be all the bones and joints they have. They flow with so much grace. Even when they are lying still in a kitty loaf.

Cat Quotes 2:01

I love cats because I enjoy my home; and little by little, they become its visible soul. —Jean Cocteau

I’ve lived with cats for a long time. Then they all died and I didn’t get another one for several months. Those were horrible months. A home just isn’t a home without at least one cat. My lesson has been learned.

There is, incidentally, no way of talking about cats that enables one to come off as a sane person. —Dan Greenberg

As a person who is certified insane, I don’t worry if I sound insane whenever I talk about cats. I know how contradictory they can be. It doesn’t bother me since I learned to love them all unconditionally.
