Cats seldom make mistakes, and they never make the same mistake twice.

The cat seldom interferes with other people's rights. His intelligence keeps him from doing many of the fool things that complicate life.

The cat is the only animal without visible means of support who still manages to find a living in the city.

Is a little experience too much to pay for learning to know oneself?

There are ... two kinds of people in this world, those who long to be understood and those who long to be misunderstood. It is the irony of life that neither is gratified.

Cleanliness in the cat world is usually a virtue put above godliness.
