We've begun to long for the pitter-patter of little feet - so we bought a dog. Well, it's cheaper, and you get more feet.

Cats are rather delicate creatures and they are subject to a good many different ailments, but I have never heard of one who suffered from insomnia.

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.

Like all pure creatures, cats are practical.

If cats were double the size they are now, they'd probably be illegal.

Dogs laugh, but they laugh with their tails.

I kind of imagine myself at eighty, a cat lady.

A kitten is in the animal world what a rosebud is in the garden.

The trees in Siberia are miles apart, that is why the dogs are so fast.

I live alone, with cats, books, pictures, fresh vegetables to cook, the garden, the hens to feed.
