"Treasure isn’t always gold, silver, and gems. Sometimes it’s furry and purring. Happy Cuddle-with-your-cat Day!"

"Nellie grinned. "I always wanted to go to Venice. It's supposed to be the romance capital of the world.""Sweet,"put in Dan. "Too bad your date is an Egyptian Mau on a hunger strike."The au pair sighed. "Better than an eleven-year-old with a big mouth."

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

"To Do Today, 1/17/081. Sit and think2. Reach enlightenment3. Feed the cats"

"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."

"What greater gift than the love of a cat."

"I cried so hard after I put my cat to sleep. I guess I shouldn’t have cried so hard, because with all my sobbing, I ended up waking it up."

"Cats don't need to be possessed; they're evil on their own."

"A window—it’s more entertaining than TV. Just ask a cat looking out, or a man looking in on a life he desires."

"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.

"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."

"Cats are puddles of cuteness. I stepped in one the other day that was so muddy I not only had to pet it, but cuddle with it for hours."

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

"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."

"A black cat among roses,phlox, lilac-misted under a quarter moon,the sweet smells of heliotrope and night-scented stock. The garden is very still.It is dazed with moonlight,contented with perfume..."

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

"Now you people have names. That's because you don't know who you are. We know who we are, so we don't need names."

"Dogs have their day but cats have 365."
