A kitten is the delight of a household. All day long, comedy is played by an incomparable actor.
ChampfleuryIf you would know what a cat is thinking about, you must hold its paw in your hand for a long time.
ChampfleuryThe love of dress is very marked in this attractive animal; he is proud of the lustre of his coat, and cannot endure that a hair of it shall lie the wrong way. When the cat has eaten, he passes his tongue several times over both sides of his jaws, and his whiskers, in order to clean them thoroughly; he keeps his coat clean with a prickly tongue which fulfills the office of the curry-comb.
