Synopsis

Outside the occasional meow, cats are not known for their great conversation, but many of their famous human companions have had much to say about them. The Quotable Cat contains hundreds of examples:

- Leonardo DaVinci, who really ought to know about such things, has said, "The smallest feline is a masterpiece."

- According to Garrison Keillor, "Cats are intended to teach us that not everything in nature has a function."

- Roy Blount Jr. tells us, "Cats have intercepted my footsteps at the ankle for so long that my gait, both at home and on tour, has been compared to that of a man wading through low surf."

- "You can't look at a sleeping cat and feel tense," says Jane Pauley.

Learn all about the secret methods of cat hypnosis, read about theories on purring and get up-to-date on a variety of quaint cat superstitions. Everything you've always wanted to know about cats is in this volume. Aren't you curious?
