Some lovely quotes - especially Jean Cocteau - a wonderful artist and film director.
Leonardo WAS a huge cat lover - he drew them continually. But his cats do not look like modern-day cats. They almost look like small mountain lions or other wild breeds.
Of course, the major lover of cats were the Eygptians which explains the snooty attitude of most cats. They have never forgotten that they were once worshipped as gods.
One of my favorites:
God made the cat in order to give man the pleasure of petting the tiger.
