Second Post - Cats

Here are a group of Cat and Kitten musings:

Nature breaks through the eyes of the cat.
- Irish proverb

Life with a cat is in certain ways a one-sided proposition. Cats are not educable; humans are. Moreover, cats know this. If you are not willing to humor them, you might as well stick to dogs.
- Terry Teachout

The Cat. He walked by himself, and all places were alike to him.
- Rudyard Kipling

Cats, no less liquid than their shadows,
Offer no angles to the wind.
They slip, diminished,
Neat, through loopholes
Less than themselves.

- A. S. J. Tessimond

Of all God's creatures there is only one that cannot be made the slave of the lash. That one is the cat. If man could be crossed with the cat, it would improve man, but it would deteriorate the cat.
- Mark Twain

A cat that catches mice does not meow.
- Chinese proverb

When I play with my cat, who knows whether she is not amusing herself with me more than I with her.
- Montaigne
