H. P. Lovecraft Cat Quotations

We shall see that at which dogs howl in the dark, and that at which cats prick up their ears after midnight.

The dog is a peasant and the cat is a gentleman.

Zoologists seem to consider the cerebration of cats and dogs about 50-50 -- but my respect always goes to the cool, sure, impersonal, delicately poised feline who minds his business and never slobbers.

The cat is cryptic, and close to strange things which men cannot see.

If we were sensible we would seek death the same blissful blank which we enjoyed before we existed.
