The cat, it is well to remember, remains the friend of man because it pleases him to do so and not because he must.

One meets the cat in nearly all forms of art...curiously enough she is not a conspicuous figure in Roman or Greek art.

A thing of beauty is a boy forever.

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

A cat is never vulgar.

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

Note 4. For these and other reasons the cat is also very hard to photograph. The best photographs are instantaneous, as the mere breathing of a cat will blur the fur in a time exposure.
