If you are worthy of its affection, a cat will be your friend but never your slave.

A cat will be your friend, but never your slave.
It is difficult to obtain the friendship of a cat. It is a philosophical animal... one that does not place its affections thoughtlessly.
If we treated everyone we meet with the same affection we bestow upon our favorite cat, they, too, would purr.
The cat, it is well to remember, remains the friend of man because it pleases him to do so and not because he must.
You have to be very insensitive in order to have a cat, because I think they're very independent. When they're kittens, you think they're going to have a dog temperament in that they're going to run to the door when you get home, lick you on the face and cuddle with you all the time, but cats are not that way.
Cats know how to obtain food without labor, shelter without confinement, and love without penalties.
I really love animals. My cat is my little soul mate. He's not just a cat, he's my friend.
People want to marry me for companionship. No thanks! I've got my cats for that!
The cat does not offer services. The cat offers itself. Of course he wants care and shelter. You don't buy love for nothing.
It is impossible for a lover of cats to banish these alert, gentle, and discriminating friends, who give us just enough of their regard and complaisance to make us hunger for more.
