Thoughts for Thursday – The Complex, Comical, and Cunning Cat

First let me announce that Book 26, the latest in the Klepto Cat Mystery series, “The Perilous PURRsuit,” is available as a Kindle Unlimited book just like all the others. Thank you to those who pointed out that we’d missed a step in submitting this new book to Amazon. What would we do without watchdog-fans?

I love reading quotes about cats. I marvel at the words and phrases people come up with to describe the cat—some of them capturing the very essence so eloquently. Some quotes are serious poetry, others are hilarious, and most cause a knowing nod.

For example, Leo Dworken said, “No amount of time can erase the memory of a good cat, and no amount of masking tape can ever totally remove his fur from your couch.” So true and well-said. Who can’t resonate with that quote?

Charlotte Gray wrote, “After scolding one’s cat, one looks into its face and is seized by the ugly suspicion that it understood every word. And has filed it for reference.”

Someone named R. Stern said something rather interesting: “If only cats grew into kittens.”

How about Joseph Wood Krutch’es observation: “Cats are rather delicate creatures and they are subject to a good many different ailments, but I have never heard of one who suffered from insomnia.”

Helen Thomson must have cats. She said, “One is never sure, watching two cats washing each other, whether it’s affection, the taste, or a trial run for the jugular.”

All of these quotes came from my2017 Cat-a-Day calendar that I treasure. Not only do I have cats roaming in and out of my office, I get to meet a new cat or kitten each day when I turn my little calendar.
