I hope to make people realize how totally helpless animals are, how dependent on us, trusting as a child must that we will be kind and take care of their needs.

I seem to have spent a good part of my life - probably too much – in just standing and staring.

Over the years I knew her she always looked at me like that - as though I was a quite pleasant but amusing object - and it always did the same thing to me. It's difficult to put into words but perhaps I can best describe it by saying that if I had been a little dog I'd have gone leaping and gambolling around the room wagging my tail furiously.

No animal is a better judge of comfort than a cat.

And the peace which I always found in the silence and emptiness of the moors filled me utterly

I wish people would realize that animals are totally dependent on us, helpless, like children, a trust that is put upon us.
