Famous quotes containing the word cat:
“You may say a cat uses good grammar. Well, a cat doesbut you let a cat get excited once; you let a cat get to pulling fur with another cat on a shed, nights, and youll hear grammar that will give you the lockjaw. Ignorant people think its the noise which fighting cats make that is so aggravating, but it aint so; its the sickening grammar they use.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (18351910)
