“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.
