| Before a cat will condescend To treat you as a trusted friend, Some little token of esteem Is needed, like a dish of cream. |
| Most beds sleep up to six cats. Ten cats without the owner. |
| The soul has illusions as the bird has wings: it is supported by them. |
| A feather in the hand is better than a bird in the air. |
| A house without a dog or a cat is the house of a scoundrel. |
| We never miss the music until the sweet voiced bird has flown. |
| There are no ordinary cats. |
| I love cats because I love my home and after a while they become its visible soul. |
| A bird in hand is worth two in the bush. |
| No bird soars too high if he soars with his own wings. |
