“Animals of every kind live on the Other Side, .. you are not crazy if you feel the spirit of your cat rubbing against your legs, hear the sound of your dog's toenails clicking on the wood floor, or hear the familiar song your bird used to sing. Our pets do come back to visit us.” IfsFeelsKindUsedSpiritSongSoundSidesAnimalCrazyDogBirdCatLegsWoodsFamiliarPetToenails Author:Sylvia Browne
“It's curious that throughout our history together, with no apparent effort, people have been able to think of the cat simultaneously as the guardian spirit of the hearth and home, and as the emblem of freedom, independence, and rootlessness.” PeopleThinkingHeartHas BeensHomeAbleTogetherSpiritEffortCatIndependenceCuriousGuardianEmblems Book:Secrets of the Cat: Its Lore, Legend, and Lives Source: Secrets of the Cat: Its Lore, Legend, and Lives
“I value in the cat the independent and almost ungrateful spirit which prevents her from attaching herself to any one, the indifference with which she passes from the salon to the housetop. When we caress her, she stretches herself and arches her back responsively; but this is because she feels an agreeable sensation, not because she takes a silly satisfaction, like the dog, in faithfully loving a thankless master. The cat lives alone, has no need of society, obeys only when she pleases, pretends to sleep that she may see more clearly, and scratches everything on which she can lay her paw.” NeedsFeelsMaySpiritValuesSleepDogMastersPleaseCatIndependentLaysSatisfactionSillyIndifferenceSensationsScratchesUngratefulCaressArchesPawsSalonsThankless Author:François-René de Chateaubriand
