I've heard many quotes about cats, but I've chosen just two of my favourites.

There are two means of refuge from the misery of life - music and cats. Albert Schweitzer
There's no need for a piece of sculpture in a home that has a cat. Wendy Bates.

I love animals. Cats in particular. At the moment I have four cats, my babies. I don't know what I'd do without them. They're always around to keep me company, and contrary to what a lot of people think, cats are loyal. And they can tell when you're upset. I have dogs too, in fact another four. And don't get me wrong, I love my dogs, but there's something about the way a cat purrs when you scratch their head and curl their body right up into yours at night. They don't chew my shoes or my toes, they don't bark and it's true, a home with a cat is never boring.

This probably makes me sound like one of those crazy cat ladies, and if i'm honest with myself, I kinda am. But that's okay with me. They wouldn't intentionally leave me, they aren't going to go behind my back and hurt me. Sometimes it would be nice to have more than the feline friends though.What about you, do you have a cat, or cats? Or dogs? Or any animals? I hope so, they really keep me sane, without them my life would hardly be worth all the trouble.

I advise everyone to befriend a cat. There are so many out there, who need homes, who need love, and you'd certainly never be bored again.

Here's a french proverb to see you off,

The dog may be wonderful prose, but only the cat is poetry.

I have a dog, however for most of my life I've had cats. I understand your love for cats; they're quite fascinating and gorgeous animals. I had 4 cats [1..then 2..then 3..then 1..then 1(a different one, haha)] and the way they interacted with me was like no other. They're such smart and sweet animals. The two I related the closest were my orange and white cat, Snowy, and my exotic 'couldn't pronounce the name if I wanted to' cat, Ben. Snowy had mental issues, but he was crazy in the awesome sort of way. He never hurt me, just everyone else. It was kind of cool. Ben was AMAZING, but he was once neighbor-napped and came back a bit traumatized. He unfortunately was killed by a car :[

I enjoyed this entry a lot
