"I have studied many philosophers and many cats. The wisdom of cats is infinitely superior."

"I wonder if he'll ever see the truth in my own heart: that, whatever Dustpelt says, however much Fireheart breaks the warrior code, I love him more that I could imagine loving any other cat. And if Fireheart knew, would he love me, too?- Sandstorm"

"The white cat Sal-al was lying on the straw matting in the empty conservatory. She looked at us with a wicked, conceited expression as if all her appetites had just been satisfied. She was beautiful. Vesta and I both said, "I wish I were a cat!"Before we got to the last word we smiled at each other in annoyance, not liking the idea that most human beings think very much alike."

"Aubrey, crouching on a nearby counter, watched me with squinty eyes, apparently pondering why anyone would willingly immerse themselves in water ever, let alone for extended periods of time."

"My cat is ignorant of the law. But then so am I. That means I am not his master, because we are both slaves."

"Owners of dogs will have noticed that, if you provide them with food and water and shelter and affection, they will think you are god. Whereas owners of cats are compelled to realize that, if you provide them with food and water and shelter and affection, they draw the conclusion that they are gods."

"I’m trying to translate what my cat says and put it in a book, but how many homonyms are there for meow?"

"There are two means of refuge from the miseries of life: music and cats."

"You can't be sad when Daisy is around, she won't let you."

"The cat hair floated in the air like a sound vibration, and I plucked it like a guitar string. Sometimes I can be so musical I’m like a living love song."

"Yearning for love made her feel like a cat that was always twining around ankles, meowing Pet me, pet me, look at me, love me."

"Chairs have legs. Four of them, like my father. Meow."

"I want to start a business making mint-flavored sunshine that comes in a can half full of meow-free rainbows. (Leprechauns sold separately.)"

"I just sprayed cologne on my hand and then pet the back of my cat's head while he slept, and he woke up so confused, trying to sniff behind his neck and all around wondering what sweet attack he was under."

"Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea."

"You know what I should do?"Hoshino asked excited. "Of course,"the cat said. "What'd I tell you? Cats know everything. Not like dogs."

"I love my cats more than I love most people. Probably more than is healthy."

"Holding this soft, small living creature in my lap this way, though, and seeing how it slept with complete trust in me, I felt a warm rush in my chest. I put my hand on the cat's chest and felt his heart beating. The pulse was faint and fast, but his heart, like mine, was ticking off the time allotted to his small body with all the restless earnestness of my own."

"I DON'T HOLD WITH CRUELTY TO CATS."

"I love when my cat crushes his forehead into mine like my skull is an empty beer can. But it’s not—there’s still a sip left."
