Exploring the world one weekend at a time.
When God saw you getting tired
And a cure was not to be
He put his arms around you
And whispered come to me
He didn’t like what you went through
And He gave you rest
His garden must be beautiful
He only takes the best
And when we saw you sleeping
So peaceful and free from pain
We wouldn’t wish you back To suffer that again
Today we say goodbye
And as you take your final rest
That garden must be beautiful
Because you are one of the best
Another cat? Perhaps. For love there is also a season; its seeds must be resown. But a family cat is not replaceable like a wornout coat or a set of tires. Each new kitten becomes its own cat, and none is repeated. I am four cats old, measuring out my life in friends that have succeeded but not replaced one another.
Irving Townsend
By associating with the cat, one only risks becoming richer.
Colette
Cats are intended to teach us that not everything in nature has a purpose.
Garrison Keillor
There is no more intrepid explorer than a kitten.
Jules Champfleury
“Who can believe that there is no soul behind those luminous eyes!”
Theophile Gautier
A little drowsing cat is an image of perfect beatitude.
Jules Champfleury
Time spent with cats is never wasted.
