Notable quotes

“I think all cats are wild. They only act tame if there's a saucer of milk in it for them.”
— Douglas Adams, discussing feral cats in Last Chance to See (1991).
“All cats can see futures, and see echoes of the past. We can watch the passage of creatures from the infinity of now, from all the worlds like ours, only fractionally different. And we follow them with our eyes, ghost things, and the humans see nothing.”
— Neil Gaiman, depicting a visionary cat, in Sandman #18: "A Dream of a Thousand Cats", part of the Dream Country collection
“Cats are rather delicate creatures and they are subject to a good many different ailments, but I never heard of one who suffered from insomnia.”
— Joseph Wood Krutch, The Twelve Seasons (1949), "February".
“Tout ce qui s'agite devient pour eux un objet de badinage. Ils croyent que la nature ne s'occupe que de leur divertissement.”
— Translation: Anything that moves becomes for them an object of fun. They believe that nature exists only for their amusement.
“J'ai beaucoup étudié les philosophes et les chats. La sagesse des chats est infiniment supérieure.”
— Translation: I have studied many philosophers and many cats. The wisdom of cats is infinitely superior.
“The cat would eat fish, and would not wet her feet.”
— John Heywood, Proverbs, Part I, Chapter XI.
