HAPPY SUNDAY EVERYONE - FOR THE CAT LOVERS OUT THERE

 Just so that you don't think I am remiss in not mentioning our cats lately, this one is for all the cat lovers out there. Yes, just for you!

"Cats and humans have been partners for over ten thousand years. And what you realize when you've lived with a cat for a long time is that we may think we own them, but that's not the way it is. They simply allow us the pleasure of their company."

~Genki Kawamura~

"I have felt cats rubbing their faces against mine and touching my cheek with claws carefully sheathed. These things, to me, are expressions of love."

~James Herriot~


"The word 'homeowner' has the word 'meow' in it. Good luck pronouncing it correctly ever again."

~mom-says-im-cute~

“I have been told that the training procedure with cats was difficult. It’s not. Mine had me trained in two days.”

~Bill Dana~

    This post is for me because we are both cat lovers. We have had quite a few cats in over 50 years of marriage. You really knocked it out of the park with these quotes! And what a nice surprise that one is from James Herriot! Do you watch All Creatures Great And Small? Perhaps you have even been in the Yorkshire Dales! We have also read all of his books.

      Wonderful! I haven’t watched the new show of All Creatures, but we were both big fans of the original :)

    Oh Denise, these cat photos and quotes are cute, but I am a dog person all the way. Nel has a cat, and the things they get into. It's like they feel entitled haha. The homeowner and "meow" quote was delightful. I'll have to share that with her.

    Wishing you a lovely Sunday.

      Hi Sheri, so glad you liked them :) I know all about being a dog person. We no longer have any in our home but my whole life I have had a dog, and a kitty for 18 years when growing up. Both my own cat and dogs gave me a lot of smiles. I can just imagine Nel’s cat and its goings on :) I hope you had a lovely Sunday, ours has been really nice thank you.
