A few quotes about cats

Cats are a mysterious kind of folk.
There is more passing in their minds than we are aware of.
Sir Walter Scott

There are no ordinary cats.
Colette

The most domestic cat which has lain on a rug all her days,
appears quite at home in the woods, and by her sly and stealthy behaviour,
proves herself more native than the regular inhabitants.
'Waldren' by Henry David Thoreau

The cat will kill mice,and he will be kind to babies when
he is in the house, just so long as they do not pull his tail
too hard. But when he has done that, and between times, and
when the moon gets up and night comes, he is the Cat that walks
by himself, and all places are alike to him. Then he goes out to
the Wet Wild Woods or upon the Wet Wild Trees or on the
Wet Wild Roofs, waving his wild tail
and walking by his wild lone.
'The Cat Who Walked By Himself'
by Rudyard Kipling
