A cat improves the garden wall in sunshine, and the hearth in foul weather. – Judith Merkle Riley

Most cats, when they are Out want to be In, and vice versa, and often simultaneously. – Louis J. Camuti

I like cats…. When I meet a cat, I say, “Poor Pussy!” and stoop down and tickle the side of its head; and the cat sticks up its tail in a rigid, cast-iron manner, arches its back, and wipes its nose up against my trousers; and all is gentleness and peace. – Jerome K. Jerome, Three Men in a Boat (To Say Nothing of the Dog), 1889
