For me, one of the pleasures of cat's company is their devotion to bodily comfort.
Compton Mackenzie
Cats have it all — admiration and endless sleep and company only when they want it.
Rod McKuen
There is nothing so lowering to one's self-esteem as the affectionate contempt of a beloved cat.
Agnes Repplier
It is as easy to hold quicksilver between your finger and thumb as to keep a cat who means to escape.
Andrew Lang
A cat is the only non-gregarious domestic animal. It is retained by its extraordinary adhesion to the comforts of the house in which it is reared.
Francis Galton
Cats have a contempt for speech. Why should they talk when they can communicate without words?
Lillian Jackson Braun
The more you talk to cats ... the smarter they become. An occasional "nice kitty" will have no measurable effect; intelligent conversation is required.
Lillian Jackson Braun
Man and cat each have active ways of communicating that do not involve what we normally refer to as language.
Roger A. Caras
Cats are admirable company. I am very fond of dogs, too; but their sphere is the field. In the house they do not understand that repose of manner which is the soul of breeding. The cat's manner seems to have been perfected by generations, nay centuries, of familiar intercourse with the great and cultivated of the earth.
Algernon S. Logan
I cannot imagine a cat in an Obedience ring, running around in the hot sun and doing things on command. For it would not make sense. Whereas a dog is tolerant of your not making sense and only wants to fix things so you are happy.
Gladys Taber
A cat knows how to be comfortable, how to get the people around it to serve it. In a tranquil domestic situation, the cat is a veritable manipulative genius. It seeks the soft, it seeks the warm, it prefers the quiet and it loves to be fill. It displays, when it gets its own way in these matters, a degree of contentment we would all like to emulate.
Roger A. Caras
It is the misfortune of cats, that they are generally brought into contrast with dogs, whose fidelity, attachment, and sagacity are so often subjects of admiration. But it is obviously unfair to bring into comparison animals differently constituted and dissimilar both in their pretensions and capabilities.
Thomas Brown
