![]() In ancient times cats were worshipped as gods; they have not forgotten this. The Mind of God may be glimpsed in the eyes of a cat. A cat stretches from one end of my childhood to the other. What sort of philosphers are we who know absolutely nothing about the origin and destiny of cats? All cats are possessed of a proud spirit, & the surest way to forfeit the esteem of a cat is to treat him as an inferior being. I will admit to feeling exceedingly proud when any cat has singled me out for notice; for, of course, every cat is really the most beautiful woman in the room. That is part of their deadly fascination. I love cats because I enjoy my home; & little by little, they become its visible soul. I love cats because they are so beautiful aesthetically. They are like sculpture walking around the house. The smallest feline is a masterpiece. A kitten is more amusing than half the people one is obliged to be with. ![]() -Barbara Holland. There is something about the presence of a cat... that seems to take the bite out of being alone. Some people say that cats are sneaky, evil, and cruel. True, and they have many other fine qualities as well. Prowling his own quiet backyard or asleep by the fire, he is still only a whisker away from the wilds. Who among us hasn't envied a cat's ability to ignore the cares of daily life and to relax completely? If there were to be a universal sound depicting peace, I would surely vote for the purr.
