One of the striking differences between a cat and a lie it that a cat has only nine lives.

Life is life - whether in a cat, or dog or man. There is no difference there between a cat or a man. The idea of difference is a human conception for man's own advantage.

Cats are a mysterious kind of folk.

A woman hath nine lives like a cat.

A cat is a small sneaky animal that manages to get by without any real relationships.

The cat sat on the mat is not a story. The cat sat on the other cat’s mat is a story.

In nine lifetimes, you'll never know as much about your cat as your cat knows about you.

Cats were the gangsters of the animal world, living outside the law and often dying there. There were a great many of them who never grew old by the fire.

Your world and the cat's world are not the same.

"I have nine lives," said the kitten, purring softly as it walked around in a circle and then came back to the roof; "but I can't lose even one of them by falling in this country, because I really couldn't manage to fall if I wanted to."

Cats are the runes of beauty, invincibility, wonder, pride, freedom, coldness, self-sufficiency, and dainty individuality — the qualities of sensitive, enlightened, mentally developed, pagan, cynical, poetic, philosophic, dispassionate, reserved, independent, Nietzschean, unbroken, civilised, master-class men.

A cat has absolute emotional honesty: human beings, for one reason or another, may hide their feelings, but a cat does not.

It's an interesting fact that fewer than 17 % of Real cats end their lives with the same name they started with. Much family effort goes into selecting one at the start ("She looks like a Winnifred to me"), and the as the years roll by it suddenly finds itself being called Meepo or Ratbag.
