Cats are connoisseurs of comfort.

Cats are connoisseurs of comfort

I hope to make people realize how totally helpless animals are, how dependent on us, trusting as a child must that we will be kind and take care of their needs... [They] are an obligation put on us, a responsibility we have no right to neglect, nor to violate by cruelty.

I have felt cats rubbing their faces against mine and touching my cheek with claws carefully sheathed. These things, to me, are expressions of love.

For me, one of the pleasures of cats' company is their devotion to bodily comfort

If having a soul means being able to feel love and loyalty and gratitude, then animals are better off than a lot of humans.
