No favor can win gratitude from a cat. (Jean de La Fontaine)
If South Korea's dictatorships were America's running dogs, then North Korea was the Eastern bloc's house cat: intractable, convinced of its superiority, and to some observers a more independent creature, but never much good at feeding itself-even after the can openers started falling silent in 1989.

Brian Reynolds Myers
The amazing activity of the cat is delicately balanced by his capacity for relaxation. Every household should contain a cat, not only for decorative and domestic values, but because the cat in quiescence is medicinal to irritable, tense, tortured men and women. View quote
William Lyon Phelps
My epitaph? My epitaph will be, 'Curiosity did not kill this cat'. View quote
Studs Terkel
I do not care about "weeks", and every week is a cat week with me. View quote
Robertson Davies
I honestly don't know how you live without having a cat inside your house. It's like having a little living piece of art that is also very warm and soft. View quote
Hank Green
I think it's really good for a family or children to have a dog, cat, bird or whatever to grow up with. View quote
Hayao Miyazaki
Did I ever tell you my pet peeve?' No,' I said. People who dress up their pets to look like Little Lord Fauntleroys or cowboys, clowns, ballerinas. As if it's not enough just to be a dog or cat or turtle. View quote
Jerry Spinelli
My old cat is dead, Who would butt me with his head. View quote
Henry Summers
A cat can be trusted to purr when she is pleased, which is more than can be said for human beings. View quote
William Ralph Inge
The sharp side of the knife goes away from you. Pure reason does not trump brute force but suprisingly few people know what hot peppers look like when the teacher asks if you have enough to share with everyone. Never take the lid of a pressure cooker 'to see if it's done yet'. Even if you are careful with the picric acid that won't matter if you are careless with other items next to it. Move *away* from mysterious burglar alarms. Do not append 'you moron' to exposition directed at people who have just broken into your building. 'We need to talk' is overwhelmingly unlikely to precede good news. A rough brick wall may be used to sort socks or as a backdrop for sock-art (The Neglected Art). A silent cat is Up to Something. Lungs are unsuited for many possible atmospheres, including that of London, and anything with a high content of industrial cleaners. Youth will not save you from Newton's Laws. Or Darwin's. (James Nicoll)
[The cat] and I have an agreement: I leave her alone and don't make sudden moves when I wake up to find her perched on my chest, staring with an unblinking hostile gaze at my face and in return she rarely mutilates me. View quote

James Nicoll
Yes, I was surprised how easy it was to cut the door off my cat. View quote

Americans! They want to go 600 miles an hour, and they don't know how to walk! Look at them in the street. Bent over. Coughing! Young men with gray faces! Why can't they look at the animals? Look at a cat. Look at any animal. The only animal that doesn't hold its stomach in is the pig. View quote
Joseph Pilates
The best part of Nintendo was the codes. We had codes that got us to the end of the game immediately. Why can't we have that in real life? Just for once I'd like to be on a date with a chick and when she starts talking about her cats, and she's like "And this cat likes corn, and this one has diarrhea, and this one can fight crime,” I can be like, "Up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, b, select start, and I'm in bed with her, and no more cats.”.

Watch a cat when it enters a room for the first time. It searches and smells about, it is not quiet for a moment, it trusts nothing until it has examined and made acquaintance with everything. View quote
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
You call to a dog and a dog will break its neck to get to you. Dogs just want to please. Call to a cat and its attitude is, 'What's in it for me?' View quote
Lewis Grizzard
The cat will mew, and dog will have his day. View quote
William Shakespeare
I am as vigilant as a cat to steal cream. View quote
William Shakespeare
What, courage, man What though care killed a cat, thou hast mettle enough in thee to kill care. (William Shakespeare)
