THE BIG BOOK OF CATS is perfect for curling up on the couch with you-know-who and reading kitty quips from the silly to the sublime:

         ¸         Paula Poundstone: The problem with
                cats is that they get the exact same
                look on their face whether they see
                a moth or an ax murder.

         ¸         T. S. Eliot: When a Cat adopts you
                there is nothing to be done about
                it except to put up with it and wait
                until the wind changes.

         ¸         Mary Bly: Dogs come when they're
                called; cats take a message and get
                back to you.
