Agreed! Good Morning Kimo and Sabi! Thank you for sharing- these are great! Purrs
Terrific proverbs. #5 and 8 are certainly true! I like #4 and 11 as well.
Happy T13. :)
We have the same Italian proverb in our TT's! Great minds think alike, huh? I didn't know all the proverbs, always ready to learn new things!
Thanks for visiting my cat quotes TT. Greetz from Freyja & Bastet!
Hmmm, I agree with all of those proverbs except #7. I think you should ALWAYS send a cat to deliver cream. That would be my favorite job. Oh, maybe that explains the proverb...
I must admit, I am more of a dog person but my daughter has two cats and she loves them. Love the proverbs. Great list.
The Italians, French and Chinese were all very smart people to come up with those proverbs! Terrific list! :)
#4 and #5 are my favorites :)
Oh, I love the kitty proverbs! Hee, hee, I asked Chairman Mao if he wanted to do a Thursday Thirteen this week, and he said, "No, I wanna do a post about me and my sisters, and I haven't got thirteen sisters." :-D
Hugs to you purr-ecious kittyboys!

I enjoyed your list of proverbs.
Whiskers caught a cold and had to stay at the vets for awhile. ;>) He is fixing to come home. In the meantime it was nice to visit your cool cat blog.
Hmmm, yes we must agree. You should beware of beans who don't like cats. You should be very wary of doze who say dey like cats but don't haf any and don't play wif yoors when dey come to bisit. Momma sez doze beans iz lie-ars.
Those are furry wise proverbs.
Thanks for your sympathy over my "weekend of starvation" trauma. I'm just checking back into the blogosphere after spending 4 days eating non-stop to make up for it!
here's another one for you: a cat (or two or three) is the visible heart of a home.

If #1 is a girl kitty, shouldn't she go to a nunnery instead? 'Cause if I go to a moastery, I wanna still be a boy kitty. Even though I don't have all my fun parts anymore...
