"A cat has absolute emotional honesty. Human beings, for one reason or another, may hide their feelings, but a cat does not." — Ernest Hemingway

"A cat can be trusted to purr when she is pleased, which is more than can be said for human beings." — William Ralph Inge

"Cats are the runes of beauty, invincibility, wonder, pride, freedom, coldness, self-sufficiency, and dainty individuality - the qualities of sensitive, enlightened, mentally developed, pagan, cynical, poetic, philosophic, dispassionate, reserved, independent, Nietzschean, unbroken, civilized, master-class men." — H. P. Lovecraft

"Cats are anthropomorphized in art because they are so laid back that you automatically attribute human thoughts and feelings to them." — Jim Davis

11. She looks sooo soft!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

13. She's very soft.

This is actually a bit of a problem because that soft, fine fur mats very easily and she hates being groomed. So a few weeks ago she got a lion cut and she's kind of naked, though the fur that's already grown back is really soft and very pettable.
