I've had cats all my life, except for about 2 years in an apartment (and the hubby to be finally just said, would you please just go get a cat, we'll pay the pet deposit, because I was so miserable without one!) and the bed just feels wrong without a kitty warming your feet! (read: making you contort in odd ways because you have nowhere to put your feet without kicking them off accidentally!)
Ohhhhhhhhh these are GREAT! I LAUGHED at number 13! But I think I like #2 the best!

ReplyDeleteCats are amazing little critters, and as far as I'm concerned, a house isn't a home without one.
Thanks for sharing.
Take care, Meow
Hi Gattina, TB is a nickname for my wonderful husband and means "Teddy Bear". His real name is Ted and he just looks like a teddy bear to me. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat cat quotes!! The one about wondering what the cat sees that you cannot see..well, here in South East Georgia we have these horrible flying cockroaches. Annie can smell them and before you know it she has them. Or we wake up the next morning and find one on his back!! YES!! She is great to have to find these horrible BIG bugs...I love cats..always have always will.

Great cat quotes Gattina. I could identify with all of them.
ReplyDeleteThere are times I miss having a
ReplyDeletekitty. Their softness and their warmth. But then I think of all the dogs and realize how much craziness a cat would bring. Maybe when I get down to 2 dogs again years from now!
Very cute sayings. My sister would agree with you. Me, I like playing with cats, but I don't own any.
ReplyDeleteHappy TT!
Here's a good one: If a dog jumps in your lap, it's because he is fond of you; but if a cat does the same thing, it's because your lap is warmer." Alfred North Whitehead
ReplyDeleteI like 11 the best.
ReplyDeleteThe cats have us! Happy TT =)
ReplyDeleteI have had two cats since the day my husband and I started sharing a life together. Tisja is still with me now, I hope she'll get very old like Mora, the one before her. #9 and #10 and #11 as well, those are my favourites!
ReplyDeleteI KNOW out cats...we don't have them, they have us....wrapped around our fingers!!!
ReplyDeleteI am sooooooooooo late getting around to visiting. It's been a busy day again for us. The other day we were out and about and a rock from the truck ahead of us was kicked up by him and naturally.....it hit our windshield! Cracked it good. So, the last couple of days it's been either out working in the yard 'til it gets too hot, and then out trying to find the best place to get the windshield fixed. What a pain vehicles are...and a very expensive toy. LOL
Cute quotes. I think #13 is my favorite. Happy TT.
ReplyDeleteGreat list. I love cats. Have you ever read "The Cat Who Came for Christmas"?
ReplyDeleteHi Gattina, Love the cat quotes, I like #3.
ReplyDeleteIve left you a little something at at my place..
I see someone else mentioned a cat novel. There is a wonderful series of "The Cat who..." and the cat solves all sorts of mysteries. Well, the detective does, but somehow his cat always helps.
ReplyDeleteI love these quotes. Especially the empty house one.
