A cat, I am told, has nine lives. If that is true, I know how a cat feels. Caryl Chessman
People are strange when it comes to cats. People who love cats, people who hate cats, people that are allergic to cats but still love them and idiots that hate cats just because they are allergic to cats. I love cats but I am allergic to some of them. I can never understand why people hate animals just because of an allergy. A healthy respectful fear, that I can understand but it is not as if it is the cat’s fault that you have a health problem.

A black cat crossing your path signifies that the animal is going somewhere. Groucho Marx
Some people are superstitious. They believe that if a black cat crosses their paths something bad is going to happen. Maybe something bad is happening to them… they are idiots and being an idiot is a serious sickness, yes?

‘But I don’t want to go among mad people,’ said Alice. ‘Oh, you can’t help that,’ said the cat. ‘We’re all mad here.’ Lewis Carroll
Cats are amazing, they either make people mad or people are just mad about them. There is no middle ground.

The clever cat eats cheese and breathes down rat holes with baited breath. W. C. Fields
Cats are also more clever than some humans. We have politics and politicians and we always end up fighting. Cats only vote for themselves. Whenever you call a cat it decides if it wants to respond, and if you are lucky they will go to you. Also, they are picky over who they like. I have discovered that if my cat ignores someone, I also find that I do not like that person.

One of the most striking differences between a cat and a lie is that a cat has only nine lives. Mark Twain
Life can be hard. How a cat can endure nine lives is a scary thought. I wonder where that belief came about sometimes, but I must say I have once seen a cat fall from a three-story window and walk about as if nothing happened. And I once lived in a building where a human accidentally fell from the third floor. The man did not make it.
Cats are amazing.

The cat in the photo is my cat Arrow’s kitten that she gave birth to on 29 September 2016. We call her Lady Vine.

Jou skrywe het my nou gedwing om te gaan oplees, soos altyd een van die lekkertes van jou skrywes 😆
http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/ampp3d/cats-9-lives-facts-behind-4388389
“Nine lives, for three he plays, for three he strays and the last three he stays.
It is a statement about the hardy nature of cats and the fact that they give the most love when thet are old, too old to chase mice and run away.
Nine is a magic number. Ancient Greeks said that the number nine referred to the trinity of all trinities and is a mystic number which evokes tradition and religion.
Humans through the ages have been astonished at the hardiness of the feline. They are able to twist around very quickly in the air if dropped from high places. Have extremely good balance and refleces. Have very flexible backbones as they have more vertebrae than humans.
Perhaps all the baby kittens we see on the internet are secretly hundreds of years old and are on their ninth life”
Mense wat nie van katte hou sit doodstil in hul teenwoordigheid met die hoop die kat vermy hulle…maar katte soek juis die rustigheid..lol
Dankie vir jou skrywe wat nou weer heel iets anders is en my kennis weereens verbreed het 🤗
