Dogs will play football, walk a tightrope, and do backflips; bears will roller-skate or ride seesaws, and seals render " My Country Tis of Thee " on a bank of tooters, but your pet cat won't even come when you call it if it doesn't feel like it or doesn't think there might be something in it for itself.

Stately, kindly, lordly friend condescend, Here to sit by me and turn glorious syes that smile and burn, Golden eyes, love's lustrous meed, on the golden page that I read.

As I was writing to my friends on the Ajax thread, I would ball up the paper that I had written on and throw it to the floor.
My cat just loves balled up paper. She was in heaven. Lots and lots of balled up paper. I find it humorous that with all of the expensive gadgets, gizzmo's and toys, a cat prefers some of the simplest things that we have.

The house cat is a four legged quadruped, the legs as usual being at the corners. It is what is sometimes called a tame animal, though it feeds on mice and birds of prey. Its colours are stiped, it does not bark, but breathes through its nose instead of its mouth. Cats also mow, which you all have heard. Cats have nine lives.

When a cat sits with both feet tucked inward and studies you with the same admiration you would direct toward a Rembrandt, you know you have been adopted.
