“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.
