"Of all God's 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

"Unlike us,
cats never
outgrow their delight
in cat capacities,
nor do they settle
finally for limitations.
Cats, I think,
live out their lives
fulfilling their
expectations."

-Irving Townsend
