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.

In Memory of a Burmese Queen


Queen in a house full of dogs.

Burmese with dark chocolate points

Not a hair ever out of place

Movements balletic and elegant

Prancing in front of the dogs

Tail straight as a brush

Always ahead, ever courageous

Sleeping on top of the hounds

On a pile of noisy canines

Centre of attention, adoration

Showing your royal ancestry

Not a television fan

You strut the mantlepiece

Knocking off knick-knacks and photos

Diverting attention from the screen

Commanding the room and the moment.

Strolling in languidly when summoned

As if graciously, condescendingly complying

Responding with elegant purring

To keep foolish humans happy

A wonderfully free spirit

Whose ghost is always present

This is in memory of one of three Burmese
cats from my childhood. She was universally
loved for her intelligence and character.
