The Mysterious Cat
Are you a cat person, and looking for something to smile and ponder over? An enjoyable, amusing book for those occasions when you don’t have the time or energy to delve into some long narrative?
This collection of some 230 quotes and sayings about cats fits the bill exactly. The independence, beauty and mystery of cats have long fascinated all who know them well.
Writers, artists and other sensitive people are especially drawn to cats. Free and proud, cats share our houses and environments with us, but never quite give up their autonomy.
The chapters of this book cover the subjects of cats’ independence, cats’ mystery, cats’ beauty and grace, cats’ relations to their humans, cats and kittens, cats and dogs, cats’ peculiarities of character, and cats’ affinity to artists and writers.
Anyone who knows and loves cats will be delighted by these quotes and sayings. Some are clearly meant to be funny, while others are heart-felt expressions of the love and tenderness that felines can inspire in people of all ages. Many quotes are newly translated into English, and not to be found in similar collections.
