CAT QUOTES
These are Juminbu Approved! ...
"The cat was created when the lion sneezed" --
Arabian Proverb
"Happy is the home with at least one cat" -- Italian
Proverb
"If you are worthy of its affection, a cat will be your
friend, but never your slave" -- Theophile Gautier
"There are no ordinary cats" -- Colette
"There are few things in life more heart warming than to
be welcomed by a cat." --Tay Hohoff
"When God made the world, He chose to put animals in it, and
decided to give each whatever it wanted. All the animals formed a long line
before His throne, and the cat quietly went to the end of the line. To the
elephant and the bear He gave strength, to the rabbit and the deer, swiftness;
to the owl, the ability to see at night, to the birds and the butterflies, great
beauty; to the fox, cunning; to the monkey, intelligence; to the dog, loyalty;
to the lion, courage; to the otter, playfulness. And all these were things the
animals begged of God. At last he came to the end of the line, and there sat the
little cat, waiting patiently. "What will YOU have?" God asked the
cat.
The cat shrugged modestly. "Oh, whatever scraps you have left over. I don't
mind."
"But I'm God. I have everything left over."
"Then I'll have a little of everything, please."
And God gave a great shout of laughter at the cleverness of this small animal,
and gave the cat everything she asked for, adding grace and elegance and, only
for her, a gentle purr that would always attract humans and assure her a warm
and comfortable home.
But he took away her false modesty.
