Whereas owners of cats are compelled to realize that, if you provide them with food and water and shelter and affection, they draw the conclusion that they are gods.\u201d<br \/>\n~ Christopher Hitchens, The Portable Atheist: Essential Readings for the Nonbeliever <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWhat&#8217;s your name,&#8217; Coraline asked the cat. &#8216;Look, I&#8217;m Coraline. Okay?&#8217;<br \/>\n&#8216;Cats don&#8217;t have names,&#8217; it said.<br \/>\n&#8216;No?&#8217; said Coraline.<br \/>\n&#8216;No,&#8217; said the cat. &#8216;Now you people have names. That&#8217;s because you don&#8217;t know who you are. We know who we are, so we don&#8217;t need names.\u201d<br \/>\n~ Neil Gaiman, Coraline <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI meant,&#8221; said Ipslore bitterly, &#8220;what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?&#8221;<br \/>\nDeath thought about it.<br \/>\nCATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.\u201d<br \/>\n~ Terry Pratchett, Sourcery <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cA cat has absolute emotional honesty: human beings, for one reason or another, may hide their feelings, but a cat does not.\u201d<br \/>\n~ Ernest Hemingway<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Whatever your feelings about cats, I hope you are having a great day!<\/p>\n<div class=\"fcbkbttn_buttons_block\" id=\"fcbkbttn_left\"><div class=\"fcbkbttn_like fcbkbttn_large_button\"><fb:like href=\"https:\/\/susanbgraham.com\/blog\/2017\/10\/29\/national-cat-day\/\" action=\"like\" colorscheme=\"light\" layout=\"button_count\"  size=\"large\"><\/fb:like><\/div><div class=\"fb-share-button fcbkbttn_large_button \" data-href=\"https:\/\/susanbgraham.com\/blog\/2017\/10\/29\/national-cat-day\/\" data-type=\"button_count\" data-size=\"large\"><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>National Cat Day 2017 &#8211; Who Knew?
