"Refined and delicate natures understand the cat."

Not everyone likes cats.
The thought above is from Champfleury - he was a French art critic and novelist, his real name was Jules François Felix Fleury-Husson - who continued like this: ..."Women, poets and artists hold it in great esteem, for they recognise the exquisite delicacy of its nervous system."

You need a sensitive soul and an open heart and mind to be able to absorb the beauty and perfection that our feline friends radiate.

If you understand what Rudyard Kipling wrote about these beautiful animals, than you probably love, admire and respect cats:
"The Cat. He walked by himself, and all places were alike to him."

The black beauty above is one of my beloved cats:)

The beauty of cats

Cats are the most beautiful creatures on Earth according to a lot of people, and I completely agree.
I can't think of any other animal with more elegance, sophistication, grace and beauty!
The following cat quotes express the deep essence of the flawless beauty of felines.

"Like a graceful vase, a cat, even when motionless, seems to flow." - George F. Will
"There's no need for a piece of sculpture in a home that has a cat." - Wesley Bates
"A cat pours his body on the floor like water." - William Lyon Phelps
"To respect the cat is the beginning of the aesthetic sense." - Erasmus Darwin
"Nature breaks through the eyes of the cat." - Irish proverb
"Everybody could be beautiful, really, but most women present themselves so awkwardly. Women should set themselves forth attractively but innocently, like a cat. A cat is never a presentation, but an innocent happening." - Alwin Nikolais

Tiny wild creatures in your home

Who doesn't admire the wild animal kingdom...
Unfortunately we can't have a close relationship with wild animals because we - humans - are afraid of them and we are too week.
Yes.
We can only approach them carrying guns and other weapons that make us stronger and scarier. We, alone, are too week.
I'm just emphasizing this because I don't like people who look down on animals, yet would be too sacred to go over to a panther and try to make friends with him!

Back to domestic cats:)
Numerous writers, poets and philosophers see how they resemble their wild relatives. Much more than other domestic animals.
Let's see how they express their feelings...

"Prowling his own quiet backyard or asleep by the fire, he is still only a whisker away from the wilds". - Jean Burden
"Way down deep, we're all motivated by the same urges. Cats have the courage to live by them." - Jim Davis
"No tame animal has lost less of its native dignity or maintained more of its ancient reserve. The domestic cat might rebel tomorrow." - William Conway
"Of all God's creatures there is only one that cannot be made the slave of the lash. That one is the cat. If man could be crossed with a cat it would improve man, but it would deteriorate the cat." - Mark Twain
"Nature breaks through the eyes of the cat." - Irish proverb
