Cats are illusive creatures, which―perhaps―is what makes people take keen interest in them. It's precisely because of this reason that no other animal has been successful in making a place for itself in the human psyche, like the cat has. They have a diverse personality. They show varied emotions in different situations. If you are a cat owner, we don't need to tell you how brilliant actors they can be. Your cat knows your weaknesses, and plays the right cards at the right moment to get its way. Cats are not new to the world of literature either. In several literary works, they have been given a place that they truly deserve. While some people have taken to stories and poems to convey their love for cats, others resorted to quotes and sayings for the same. These quotes are not just funny, but are also quite motivating and inspiring. So, without taking more of your precious time, let us move on to these quotes.
