"There is nothing so lowering to one's self-esteem as the affectionate contempt of a beloved cat." - Monica Edwards
"One must love a cat on its own terms." - Peter Gray
"A cat refuses to be the object of sentimentality - if she doesn't want to be cuddled, that's it." - Samantha Armstrong
"A cat can be trusted to purr when she is pleased, which is more than can be said for human beings." - William Ralph Inge
