The Truth about Cat and Dogs

My precious fairy, Lobelia, sent me these gorgeous pictures a while back. And I thought I would also include some rather agreeable quotes I found on the species of the animal kingdom. Ok I know I may have displayed my affections for cats so obviously, but I did include other animals too!

Oh and the kitty cat in the clothes hanger is actually my cat, Shandy, who has now joined his brother, Oscar, in Cat Heaven.



“Animals are such agreeable friends - they ask no questions, they pass no criticisms” ~ George Eliot


“The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.” ~ Mahatma Gandhi

“If we treated everyone we meet with the same affection we bestow upon our favorite cat, they, too, would purr.” ~ Martin Delany

“Man is the only animal for whom his own existence is a problem which he has to solve.” – Erich Fromm

“Ever consider what pets must think of us? I mean, here we come back from a grocery store with the most amazing haul - chicken, pork, half a cow. They must think we're the greatest hunters on earth!” ~Anne Tyler, The Accidental Tourist

“Lots of people talk to animals.... Not very many listen, though.... That's the problem.” ~Benjamin Hoff, The Tao of Pooh
