I have this hanging over my fridge door

" Dogs have owners...Cats have Staffs!"

How true!

Those are terrific quotes! Mark Twain and Leonardo da Vinci were clearly very intelligent humans! Thanks for sharing these. :)

Daisy said...

My favorite is "The smallest feline is a masterpiece." Because Leonardo da Vinci was a genius, so he must be right. And because I think every cat is very beautiful.

Wonderful quotes! Some I hadn't seen before. And here are some more for ya:

“People that hate cats, will come back as mice in their next life.” ~ anonymous

“I have noticed that what cats most appreciate in a human being is not the ability to produce food, which they take for granted - but his or her entertainment value.” ~ Geoffrey Household

Purrs to Kimo and Sabi from C.J., Dorydoo, Marilyn, and Chairman Mao (who says, of course, MAO)! :)

I've always loved the Mark Twain quote about cats. My 6 beasties are staring out the window today wondering why there is snow on the ground. Mr. Doo is very displeased! Perhaps you can reassure him that snow does melt?

I am sending you one of my poems. I feel this shows the true relationship between Lynettea and me. Devotion to the end. She still hasn't learnt hunting though.
