Time spent with cats is never wasted. Comforting, cuddly, cute... What could be better than the presence of a fabulous feline fur-ball? As well as being totally adorable, cats are fiercely independent, curious and mischievous - and they make wonderful, low-maintenance companions. Research has shown that a purring cat on your knee - or quite possibly lying across your computer keyboard! - is the perfect antidote to stress. It's no wonder these superior beings have inspired many a bon mot or wise insight over the decades. Packed full of wonderful quotes as well as fascinating snippets of information, this little book is the purr-fect gift for any cat lover. 'In ancient times cats were worshipped as gods. They have never forgotten this.' Terry Pratchett. 'Unlike a human smile, purring cannot be, as far as anyone knows, faked.' Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson, The Nine Emotional Lives of Cats: A Journey Into the Feline Heart, 2002. 'Dogs come when they're called; cats take a message and get back to you later.' Mary Bly. 'Cats have it all - admiration, endless sleep, and company only when they want it.' Rod McKuen.
