Cats seem to go on the principle that it never does any harm to ask for what you want.
A cat has absolute emotional honesty: human beings, for one reason or another, may hide their feelings, but a cat does not.
I have studied many philosophers and many cats. The wisdom of cats is infinitely superior.
I believe cats to be spirits come to earth. A cat, I am sure, could walk on a cloud without coming through.

If animals could speak, the dog would be a blundering outspoken fellow; but the cat would have the rare grace of never saying a word too much.
