4867.0. "CAT QUOTES" by MODEL::CROSS () Tue Aug 20 1991 17:22

    There are so many great cat quotes that I decided to see if any of you
    had one or two you'd like to share.  Here are a few that I love from a
    small book called The Literary Cat by Running Press.
    
    		"At dinner time he would 
    		     sit in a corner,
    		 concentrating, and
    	      suddenly they would say,
    		'time to feed the cat,'
    	      as if it were their own idea."
    	
    				--  Lilian Jackson Braun, American Writer
    
    
    		"He lives in half-lights
    		 in secret places, free and
    		   alone--this mysterious
    		  little-great being whom
    		      his mistress calls
    		         'My Cat.'"
    
    				--  Margaret Benson, English Writer
    
    
    		"Give her but a wavering 
    	 	 leaf-shadow of a breeze
    		 combing the grasses and
    		  she was back a million
    		 years, glaring with night-
    		 lit eyes in the thickets,
    		 projecting a terrible aura
    		  of fear that stilled and
    		    quelled all creatures."
    
    				--  Paul Annixter, American Writer
    
    
    		"Even overweight cats 
    		 instinctively know the
    		 cardinal rule:  when fat,
    		    arrange yourself in
    			slim poses."
    
    				--  John Weitz, American Designer

		The difference between cats and dogs is...
		When you call a dog, it will come.  When you
		call a cat, it will take a message and get
		back to you later...

			I don't remember who wrote it, but I loved this quote

		The pleasure of living with a cat is in the
		magic of living with a denizen of the
		untamed places we know in our dreams.  Cats
		are not domestic animals...they are our own
		wild souls enthroned in these gentle, beautiful
		and wild creatures that we love.

    kittens."
