Cats

Famous quotes containing the word cats:

    At middle night great cats with silver claws,
    Bodies of shadow and blind eyes like pearls,
    Came up out of the hole, and red-eared hounds
    With long white bodies came out of the air
    Suddenly, and ran at them and harried them.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Pollicle dogs and cats all must
    Jellicle cats and dogs all must
    Like undertakers, come to dust.
    Here a little dog I pause
    Heaving up my prior paws,
    Pause, and sleep endlessly.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    A happy arrangement: many people prefer cats to other people, and many cats prefer people to other cats.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
