A little drowsing cat is an image of perfect beatitude.

A kitten is the delight of a household. All day long, comedy is played by an incomparable actor.

Refined and delicate natures understand the cat. Women, poets, and artists hold it in great esteem, for they recognize the exquisite delicacy of its nervous system; indeed, only coarse natures fail to discern the natural distinction of the cat.

[A kitten] gets himself into every kind of trouble.

He is proud of the lustre of his coat, and cannot endure that a hair of it shall lie the wrong way.

The love of dress is very marked in this attractive animal.

If you would know what a cat is thinking about, you must hold its paw in your hand for a long time.
