At last I have been given the chance to have my say… Err… Now I'm lost for words… Ah Yes, words, I have recently discovered the world of quotations. You know the type of thing: 'A mouse, a mouse. My cat nip for a mouse.' and was pleasantly suprised, at the amount of quotes that tin openers have dedicated to us Cats, through the centuries and around the world. So for those intellectual types out there, here are some of the ones I found the most amusing. Shonie  "My black pussy-cat with long hair and yellow eyes, the most intimate friend of my old age, whose love for me is free from possessive thoughts, who doesn't accept obligations when not due... she's equal to me as well as she's equal to our gods, she doesn't fear me and doesn't take offence at me, doesn't ask me more than what I'm happy to give... How delicate and fine is her beauty; how noble and indipendent is her spririt; how extraordinary is her skill to combine freedom with restrictive dependence.' Augustus Ceaser The smallest feline is a masterpiece. Leonardo De Vinci. The last thing I would accuse a cat of is innocence. Edward Paley (1786-1847) Cats, as a class, have never completely got over the snootiness caused by the fact that in ancient Egypt they were worshiped as gods. P. G. Woodhouse (1881-1975) A dog is a dog, a bird is a bird, and a cat is a person. Mugsy Peabody Cats could have ruled the Universe, but couldn't be bothered. Paul Gray After scolding one's cat one looks into its face and is seized buy the ugly suspicion that it understood every word. And has filed it for reference. Pam Brown Cats were put into the world to disprove the dogma that all things were created to Serve man. Paul Gray Cat said 'I am not a friend, and I am not a servant. I am the Cat who walks by himself, and I wish to come into your Cave.' Rudyard Kipling (Just So Stories) Cats can work out mathematically the exact place to sit that will cause the most inconvenience. Michael Stevens A cat is a lion in a jungle of small bushes. Indian Proverb If it's raining at the back door every cat is convinced there's a good chance that it won't be raining at the front door. William Toms No heaven will not ever heaven be, unless my cats are there to welcome me. (Epitaph in a pet cemetery) A cat sees no good reason why it should obey another animal, even if it does stand on two legs. Sarah Thompson Ignorant people think it's the noise which fighting cats make that is so aggravating, but it ain't so, it's the sickening grammar they use. Mark Twain You can tell a dog to do something. You can put it to a cat as a reasonable proposition. Michael Stevens Authors like cats because they are such quiet, loveable, wise creatures, and cats like authors for the same reasons. Robertson Davies Of all gods creatures there is only one that cannot be made the slave of the lash. That one is the cat. If man could be crossed with a cat it would improve man, but it would deteriorate the cat. Mark Twain Cats seem to go on the principle that it never does any harm to ask for what you want. Joseph Wood Krutch I said something which gave you to think I hated cats. But gad, sir, I am one of the most fanatical cat lovers in the business. If you hate them, I may learn to hate you. If your allergies hate them, I will tolerate the situation to the best of my ability. Raymond Chandler. Even overweight cats instinctively know the cardinal rule: When fat, arrange yourself in slim poses. John Weitz All over the world there are intelligent human beings on their hands and knees trying to show a cat where the titbit they threw has landed. Marcia Fischer Given a housefull of carpets, shelves, cushions, chairs, windowsills, any cat will choose to sleep on the document you are using. Dominic Courcel There are no ordinary cats. Colette (The writer of 'Gigi') CAT: A pygmy lion who loves mice, hates dogs, and patronises humans beings. Oliver Hereford Somebody once said that a dog looked up to a man as its superior, a horse regarded a man as its equal, and that a cat looked down on him as its inferior. Compton Mackenzie A cat isn't fussy - just so long as you remember he likes his milk in the shallow, rose patterned saucer and his fish on the blue plate. From which he will take it, and eat it off the floor. Arthur Bridges A cat is never bored. At a lose end he will remove all the drawing pins from the wall, or the keys from there hooks, climb the north face of the book case or eat the rubber plant. Or retire to the bath to catch spiders. Or tear the lavatory roll to shreds. Or simply go out and catch something. LARGE. Robert James Cats allow us to love them, for which we should be duly grateful.
