"I
know I don't have to sell you on cats. They grab our attention -
and our hearts - and we never want to let them go. We know that
all it takes is one look at that regal body, one contented purr or the
way they wrap their sleek bodies around our ankles, and we stop whatever
we are doing to focus on them.
And
they expect nothing less."
(from
"The Secret Life of Cats)

are two means of refuge from the miseries of
life: music and cats."
Albert

cats die they pass through the Purrrrly Gates."
(from
the book, "Cat Angels")

who hate cats will come back as mice in their next life."
....Faith

"No
heaven will not ever Heaven be unless my cats are there to welcome
me."
(Epitaph
in a Pet Cemetery)
Not
Quite
"I
once saw a kitty with wings on its back. 'Pussy', said I, 'Are you
angel or cat?" Then I saw the rest of the bird by a shack and
said to myself, "Well, that answers that."
...Elaine
Papa
"A
cat has
nine lives and nine souls, and it must also have nine guardian angels
watching over it. Which would explain why the little fellow is so
smug."
Karen
Fields-Hutton
“ I have lived
with several Zen masters – all of them cats.”
Eckhart

Ten
Commandments For Responsible Pet Owner
(from
your cat)
1.
My life is likely to last 10 to 15 years. Any separation from you
will be painful...
2.
Give me time to understand what you want of me.
3.
Place your trust in me - it is crucial for my well-being.
4.
Don't be angry with me for long, and don't lock me up as punishment.
You have your work, your friends, your entertainment. I HAVE ONLY
YOU!
5.
Talk to me. Even if I don't understand your words, I understand
your voice when it's speaking to me.
6.
Be aware that however you treat me, I'll NEVER forget it.
7.
Before you hit me, remember that I have teeth thatcould easily crush the
bones in your hand, but I choose not to bite you.
8. Before you scold me for being lazy or uncooperative, ask
yourself if something might be bothering me.. Perhaps I'm not
getting the right food. I've been out in the sun too long,
or my heart may be getting old and weak.
9. Take care of me when I get when I get old.. You, too,
will grow old.
10. Go with me on difficult journeys. Never say, "I
can't bear to watch it" or "Let it happen in my
absence." Everything is easier for me if you are there.
Remember, I love you.....
