☆"I didn't know that Cheshire cats always grinned; in fact, I didn't know that cats could grin."

"and most of 'em do."

Lewis Carroll (1832-1898) ,English Writer

☆ Cats hate a closed door, you know, regardless of which side they're on. If they're out, they want to get in, and if they're in, they want to get out."

Lilian Jackson Braun (B. 1916) ,American Writer

米：小米貓永遠認為門的後面有更好玩的，即使他才剛從門的那邊過來...

☆ ... the cat is a character of being; the dog, a character of doing.

Michael J. Rosen (b. 1954), American Editor

米：貓兒懂得如何生活。他們都是生活哲學家＆實行家。

☆ For some people, the pet dog is just a bit too, well, predictable. Once you have come to know your dog and the one or two ways in which she differs from thousands or perhaps millions of other dogs, she's unlikely to astonish you; she's the same all the way through, like a banana. The cat is layered, like an artichoke.

Barbara Holland (b. 1925), American Writer

☆☆☆ Dogs come when they're called, cats take a message and get back to you.

Warren Eckstein, American Cat Expert

米：好妙的比喻！

☆ If a dog jumps into your lap it is because he is fond of you; but if a cat does the same thing it is because your lap is warmer.

米：沒錯沒錯！小米貓在冬天時都會擠到米粒身邊取暖，可是夏天就不會了。

☆ Cats are everywhere at home where one feeds them.

米：小米貓的胃是一個開放的大門。隨時在準備吃東西。

☆ Cats know how to obtain food without labor, shelter without confinement, and love without penalties.

W.L. George (1900-1975), American Writer

米：貓兒就是可以這樣予取予求自由來去，而貓主人就只能不斷付出不求回報。心甘情願的。

☆ There are two means of refuge from the miseries of life: music and cats.

Albert Schweitzer (1875-1965), French Philosopher, Physican, and Music Scholar

☆ "Meow" is like "Aloha" -- it can mean anything.

Hank Ketchum (b. 1920), American cartoonist

☆ When I meow, it means...

I am hungry... I want food in my bowl... I want food in my bowl right now... I want to go out... I want to come in... Brush me... Get my cat toy out from under the sofa... It's time to change the litter... I just put a mouse in the bureau drawer... I did not break that vase... Get me down from this tree... Please kill the dog next door... Hello... Good-bye...

Henry Beard, American Writer

米：好像在形容小米貓哦。

☆ It was difficult to be vexed by a creature that burst into a chorus of purring as soon as I spoke to him.

米：小米貓也是都會來門口接我，然後還會裝作是只是碰巧要到門口附近逛一逛似的。

☆ Cats love one so much -- more than they will allow. But they have so much wisdom they keep it to themselves.

Mary E. Wilkins Freeman (1852-1930), American Writer

☆ When my cats aren't happy, I'm not happy. Not because I care about their mood but because I know they're just sitting there thinking up ways to get even.

Penny Ward Moser, American Writer

米：是的，所以小米貓生氣時我也會開始緊張不知他會做出什麼事來...

☆ I love in the cat that independent and almost ungrateful temper which prevents him from attaching himself to any one... The cat lives alone, has no need of society, does not obey except when he likes, pretends to sleep that he may see the more clearly, and scratches everything he can scratch.

François-Anguste-René de Chateaubriand (1768-1848), French writer

☆ Those of us love cats are typically a little off the wall, and so are the people (like Hitler, Napoleon, and Alexander the Great) who hated them. Let's face it, cats bring out the best in us and the worst.

Roger A. Caras (b. 1928), American writer
