nice little cat quote
Hi Sosessy!
I like these quotes. Heck, I like ANY cool cat quotes from famous folks. I'm sure there are many more by Mark Twain. Winston Churchill was also a cat lover. I lived in England for a total of 7.5 years and stupidly I never visited his house. He had ordered in his will that a descendent of his favorite orange marmalade cat would continue to live on his property until the end of time and to this day, there is a resident marmalade cat who has the run of the place. I believe there are several other resident cats as well. Below is a link that tells a bit more of the story. http://www.flippyscatpage.com/churchill.html In my search, I found this link with loads of cat trivia, to include quotes. I have not looked at them yet. http://www.greatdreams.com/cats/cats2.htm Just wanted to share with fellow cat lovers. I have seven furry babies and if I had a bigger house I'd have more. My dream is to have a large home with a few acres out in the country and rescue cats. My vet bill would be expensive, but it would be worth it. Enjoy!

They are the cleanest, cunningest, and most intelligent things I know, outside of the girl you love, of course". - quoted in Abroad with Mark Twain and Eugene Field, Fisher -- http://www.twainquotes.com/Cats.html It's a cool web page, there are also pictures of Marks cats Another Quote (eat your heart Jerry) "By what right has the dog come to be regarded as a "noble" animal? The more brutal and cruel and unjust you are to him the more your fawning and adoring slave he becomes; whereas, if you shamefully misuse a cat once she will always maintain a dignified reserve toward you afterward--you will never get her full confidence again". - Mark Twain, a Biography |

Oh sure Twain was a genius, I also think he was a grand-stander, he loved the limelight. Anyone that would turn so many corners in one sentence had to love his own words and be fond of attention. Winston Churchill was also a cat lover. http://www.flippyscatpage.com/churchill.html ! I should have known, behind every good man is a cat In my search, I found this link with loads of cat trivia, to include quotes. I have not looked at them yet. http://www.greatdreams.com/cats/cats2.htm Thanks, will check them out I love reading about good people. It wasn't till abou the past 3-4 years that I myself have taken a real shine to cats in particular. I don't know that much about Churchill, what little I have caught, honestly there seemed to be a boyish pouting with him, it was a winning magnetic personality. All because of cats! lol The proof is the story you told, leaving his homestead to a cat? I love it. One could say... he just felt that passionate about animals, WC knew that he would be remembered partly by his love and extravagence towards animals.. one final contribution of good. |

The Beluga whale is a Cetacean, which means it's a mammal - and it doesn't lay eggs externally like bony fish (Class: Osteichthyes) do. Instead it gives live birth to (usually) a single calf. Just like you Momma birthed you! dang, and what am I to do with all this pent up unmitigated hostility You can thump on that Bible of yours..... -L. |

One of the cutest things I have ever seen in my life was a Beluga whale popping it's head out of the water and singing "me-me-me-me-me!" to us at Shedd Aquarium in Chicago, as we stood by the tank. I *hate* that people keep cetaceans in captivity and I no longer patronize such places, but DAMN that was cute! Little thing looked human! -L. |
