Did You Know

 Did you know that Mark Twain, a huge cat fan, at one point had nineteen cats?

 

"If man could be crossed with the cat, it would improve man, but it would deteriorate the cat."~ Mark Twain

Love that quote. He is right.
Lots of wonderful authors love cats. And take a bow if the cap fits...

Quotes from Mark Twain often make me smile and this was no exception. He came up with a couple of cutting and classic phrases when he visited Australia.

I knew he loved cats but didn't know he had 19 at one point. What a good man. The cat already knows we are inferior...we just have figured that out yet.
