Anatol France once said, “Until one has loved an animal, part of their soul remains unawakened.” If this is true, my soul suffers from a lethal case of insomnia. If you too fall into this category, you are in good and often famous company. Here are a dozen quotes from other crazy cat ladies and gents. Hope you will get a heart-warming chuckle from them.

If I were to win the lottery, I would adopt every cat at the shelter (until I was discovered, and they sent me to the “funny farm” that is). My cats are my kids, and I couldn’t love them more if I had given birth to them. They own and have complete run of the house I live in. I wish I could find a way to make them also share in the payment, utilities, and taxes! I shouldn’t complain because I couldn’t have better companions. I must give them credit for tolerating me!!!
