You cannot expect everything even from the friendliest cat. It is still a cat.
Tea time is the time when every cat reigns in its house and when loneliness reigns in that house where there is no cat.
They say the test of literary power is whether a man can write an inscription. I say, "Can he name a kitten?"
– It's an appalling school. Your spelling's atrocious. Your Latin absurd.
– Mr. Davis said it was as useful to educate a woman as a cat…
– I'll strangle Mr. Davis!..
– "Mr. Davis... What right have you to strike a child? In God's eyes we are all children. If you hit and humiliate a child, – the only lesson she will learn is to hit and humiliate".
It is enough to make a cat laugh.
Since I was young, cats have been attracted to me. Not matter if he was coming home from school, running errands... swinging in the park... or strolling along the river. They appeared cats everywhere who were watching me. <...> A person who attracts cats. Sounds good. But only person that attracts to cats? That's a problem. Hopefully attract also people.
– Shh!
– Please! I've listened to you talk about how your “cats are just like people” for the last 45 minutes.
When we were living in Colorado there was snowfall. Our cat — I’m a cat man — wanted to get out of the house so I opened a door for him but he wouldn’t leave. Just kept on crying. He’d seen snow before and I couldn’t understand it. I kept opening other doors for him and he still wouldn’t leave. Then Ginny said, "Oh, he’s looking for a door into summer". I threw up my hands, told her not to say another word, and wrote the novel "The Door Into Summer" in 13 days.
