All love is love at first sight. Some people take longer than others before they know what they've seen.

-- Foudini M. Cat, author of The Autobiography of Foudini M. Cat



Read the rest of the beautiful and witty interview here. This cat gets my... envy goat. Excerpts:

"You can love all the world but you cannot have all of it. As my mother used to say, Eat the meat on your chicken bone and don't complain because you don't have the whole chicken or you will end up with nothing. As usual, she was right. She lived in the great outdoors, but the great outdoors froze her to death."



...



"Cats hate water? No one told me that. Grace the Cat likes to sit beneath a dripping faucet and let the water splash onto her head. When I was a kitten, I tried to climb into the shower many times, but Warm always shut the glass door. It is the same with water as with dogs. A cat must get used to both of them. But we can swim, you know--if we have to."



...



Q: Does it bother you when humans, particularly Warm and Pest, try to speak cat language?



A: Pest doesn’t really try, but Warm is incorrigible. I don't mind her trying. I mind her succeeding. She speaks Cattish so badly that she says the most horrendous things. She doesn't know what she's saying! Goosefleas! Fog cream! Moon beans! Just today, Grace the Cat rubbed up against her because she was hungry. Rat toes! said Warm. Grace was very insulted.


Ayayayay. Suya kaayo ko.
