People — cat matresses.

Cats are smarter than dogs. Dogs fetch; cats watch.  

Domesticated fur — a reminder that life is soft, warm and contains the possibility of a purr.

Cats are high born,  our royal fur-ness.

We love in cats what we love in ourselves –  independence, superiority and somnolence

The similarity between cats and humans is that both are born blind. The difference is that cats fairly quickly gain their sight

Chat noir; haute couture.

Cats love what is familiar, normal and predictable, and they fear what is odd, out of place and weird. My cat likes to shower with me. So much for normal and predictable.

Cats not dogs are man’s best friend. Men prefer friends that ignore them.

Free food, free  housing, no chores and a litter box you don’t clean — we keep cats around to remind us of what the good life looks like.

We pet our cats  to sooth ourselves.

Everyday I tell my scaredy cat Megan, the one I house, feed and pet what she knows is true. “I’m going to kill you and peel your fur off.” Everyday she believes me, for a few paranoic moments. In just this fashion, fear falsely dominates us all — part-time.
