quotations about cats
Cats are rather delicate creatures and they are subject to a good many different ailments, but I never heard of one who suffered from insomnia.
JOSEPH WOOD KRUTCH

Cats seem to go on the principle that it never does any harm to ask for what you want.

Cats are like guests you're never sure of and are always trying to please.

Cats are like tiny, judgmental camels. Owing to their super-efficient kidneys, the "treasure" they bury in the litter box has much less water in it than what we flush down the toilet. Their kidneys are so good that a cat can get all the water they need from a hearty meat-based diet. They can even drink seawater and re-hydrate themselves with no ill effects.

The naming of cats is a difficult matter;
It isn't just one of your holiday games.
You may think at first, I'm as mad as a hatter
When I tell you a cat must have three different names.

Just So Stories
A cat is not merely diverted by everything that moves, but is convinced that all nature is occupied exclusively with catering to her diversion.
FRANCOIS AUGUSTE PARADIS DE MONCRIF
attributed, The Fireside Sphinx
Mystery has always shrouded the feline. The cat is a powerful, agile hunter moving silently through the night, stalking its prey; or a calculating thinker that has incredible patience when setting its trap, yet is impatient with unwanted acts of affection from humans. The cat is a creature of great beauty, defying gravity with athletic feats and supreme acts of grace. From the ancient Egyptians to the Shakespearian era and into modern times legends of the cat have grown into extraordinary myths.
ALEXANDRA POWE ALLRED

Confront a cat with something he has never seen before and his first reaction will almost invariably be one not of fear but of curiosity.

What the Dog Did
Black cat come visit me, I don't care what people say
I saw your hazel eyes, sparkling in the moonlight
Black cat one day things will change, I'm gonna wipe away your bad name
My friend tells me you're no good, and I say hey I'm not afraid
