Fantastic felines…

The smallest feline is a masterpiece. Leonardo da Vinci

 Arise from sleep, old cat,
And with great yawns and stretchings...
Amble out for love Issa

Once [a cat] has given its love, what absolute confidence, what fidelity of affection! It will make itself the companion of your hours of work, of loneliness, or of sadness. It will lie the whole evening on your knee, purring and happy in your society, and leaving the company of creatures of its own society to be with you.

Theophile Gautier
