I live in a high-rise apartment building, so I just have two cats. They’re both pound kitties. One of them, Dick, is an evil, foot-biting cat. When I write a tiger morph, I’m always imagining Dick.

A lot of cats are not that social.

I’m not too big on cats, and sometimes I’ll say something like that, and people get so mad at me. But the truth is, I don’t care if they get mad.

I’m always gonna be compared to the greatest cats that’s in the game, but I lack a little bit less when I’m not as visible as other guys. So I live with that thought right there – yo, you still gotta work, still got more to do. One thing where I come from you gotta remember is, don’t get souped up.

I do remember the tour of ‘Cats’ in Philadelphia. I was 12 and had a stomach bug.

I’m hostile to men, I’m hostile to women, I’m hostile to cats, to poor cockroaches, I’m afraid of horses.

Some cats, Iggy Pop, they’re going to always have that hunger.

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.

I’m not sure why I like cats so much. I mean, they’re really cute obviously. They are both wild and domestic at the same time.

I’m impressed with how professional they are and what they can get an animal to do. I mean, dogs and cats – that’s one thing. But when you get into the larger animals, that’s a different thing all together.

It was easy for the Democrats to attack the wealthy fat cats of Wall Street, the elite, and the privileged people – to portray them as a profiteer of the system, which to some extent, they are. Not because they wanted to, but because Mr. Bernanke enabled them to be profiteers.

Cats are so wonderful because they’re furry, purry and totally independent.

I feel like cats need help.

Cats are ideal for politicians. I had two when I arrived at Westminster, Sooty and Sweep, who had come with a flat I had bought six years earlier in Fulham from someone who was about to go abroad. There was a better offer ahead of me but she took mine because I would take the cats.

I can’t have cats around me because they try to steal my energy.

I think Clinton, after getting into office and into Washington, was shocked at being bludgeoned. So he spent time trying to be all things to all people – one way guaranteed not to be successful or respected in a lion’s den. You can’t just play around with all those big cats – you’ve got to take somebody on.

I respect cats that can rap and everything, but the artist that inspires me is Turf Talk.

I love listening to old school stuff. I listen to some new cats out here, but I’m really into, like, Tech N9ne and his clique; I really like Eminem and those guys – cats that got real flow: I really connect with that. But I do love rock. I love a lot of electronica because I love programming synthesizers.

I like to say I’m like a puppy in a room of cats.

I love dogs and cats, but I don’t want to be the guy who says, ‘I’m going to Brussels for a while; can you take Poochie?’ Or even worse, I could be the guy who takes Poochie to Brussels with him – then I’m really in trouble.

I was going to different neighborhoods around Brooklyn battling cats back in – this started in ’82, so that’s like eighth grade. Maybe 13, 14.

I grew up with a menagerie of dogs, cats, gerbils – not to mention three younger siblings.

But cats to me are strange, so strange I cannot sleep if one is near.

As commentators like the American psychologist Gary Marcus have noted, it’s extremely difficult to teach a computer to recognise cats. And that’s not for want of trying.

I would say old school cats like Redman and Wu-tang. My style is my style, those are just cats that I liked.

I am fond of pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals.

I was being ridiculed for going to school… But, you see, I had looked hard at the other musicians and the whole show-business scene… They were doing with jazz musicians what they usually reserved for rock n’ roll cats: making them overnight successes, then overnight antiques.

One thing about Italians is you can’t let them in your head. They’re inquisitive. The English and Germans are a dog tribe; the Italians are cats. They’re very helpful, but it’s in their own rhythm, their own way, and it can drive you crazy.

I love my cats more than I love most people. Probably more than is healthy.

When I was growing up, we had cats, dogs, guinea pigs, rabbits, goats, chickens – a whole menagerie.

Cats are connoisseurs of comfort.

We have a lion, tiger, liger, which is the father is a lion and the mother is a tiger, black and spotted leopard, mountain lion, Asian leopard cats. Weve got a tremendous number of the exotic feline.

I love animals. I just don’t want to have a pet. That’s OK, right? I would take a dog over a cat, at least to interact with you. I feel like cats just stare you down all the time. Cats have, like, bad attitudes.

Visits to ‘the country’ were very important to me growing up, especially working on the farm, experiencing all the wonders of cats and chickens and pigs and calves and outhouses!

There is a sense in which we have – like, I go in to teach a class; I may be somewhat different than I would be talking to you, although it’s related because it’s public. I’m very different with my roommate or my lover or my cats. But I don’t know if that means you’re acting, really, if you’re being truthful.

Cats know how to obtain food without labor, shelter without confinement, and love without penalties.

Many cats are the death of the mouse.

Wrestling definitely shaped the direction of my life because, before that, I wanted to fit in so much. I wanted to be one of the cool cats. I was friends with the captain of the football team because he had all the chicks. I wanted to be that guy.

As far as creating my own theme park, it would probably just have to do with things I like, like my dog and other people’s dogs, and lots of dogs and cats.

Cats are anthropomorphised in art because they are so laid back that you automatically attribute human thoughts and feelings to them.

I was reading Omar Khayyam, Kahlil Gibran, Rumi, L. Ron Hubbard, all sorts of philosophy. Bebop cats are like that. Curious. I wanted to know about everything.

Even cats grow lonely and anxious.

The cats that are doing they thing, you have to search to really find them, to find rappers that can actually rap and speak messages in the music. That’s not a good thing at all.

‘The Phantom of the Opera’ is the biggest thing I’ve ever done, bigger even than ‘Cats’ which, in itself, I never thought we’d top.

People rarely speak of children; you hear of ‘cohort groups’ and ‘standard variations,’ but you don’t hear much of boys who miss their cats or 6-year-olds who have to struggle with potato balls.

Cats are impossible to work with. They’re just very difficult because you can’t really train them. They’re not really interested in whatever you want them to do. Dogs want to please you; cats only want to please themselves.

I’m a cat guy. I’m absolutely a cat guy. I grew up with cats.

In ancient times cats were worshipped as gods; they have not forgotten this.

I live in this apartment building, and everybody who lives there thinks of me as a housewife. People drop their babies off with me. Or I get notes: ‘I’m going to be gone for three days. The keys are under the mat; take care of the cats.’ Because they all think I’m home all the time.

Well, when I was a little girl we had 17 cats once. They all lived outside, and they kept having more kittens. My mom made us put little ribbons around each kitten’s neck, put them in a wagon, and go door-to-door around the neighborhood to try to give them away.

I never minded flying cheap. I always said to myself, ‘Taking this flight saves enough money to rescue four dogs, or six cats, or will let me make a difference to the one woman saving chimps in Cameroon.’

I’d got a part in the original cast of ‘Cats’ when I was 16, and that kept me going for a while. After that, I felt lost, both personally and professionally – I was trying to find a way not to be seen only as this bubbly, bright, vivacious person. It felt like I’d lost the freedom to make mistakes.

Cats have a scam going – you buy the food, they eat the food, they go away; that’s the deal.

The first Knightfall story is four issues, and it is extremely focused and intense. People who have read, say, the ‘Cats In the Cradle’ arc in ‘Secret Six’ will get some idea of the primal tone of this story. It doesn’t let up at all, and it ends in a new place.

Cats are intended to teach us that not everything in nature has a function.

We can certainly go further than cats, but why should it be that our brains are somehow so suited to the universe that our brains will be able to understand the deepest workings?

It’s like that Simpsons joke – they’re filming a cow in a movie and they go, ‘OK, we’ll tape a bunch of cats together to make a cow’, and it’s like, ‘Why don’t you just use a cow?’. For some reason that is novel – like, ‘Oh, my guitar sounds like a piano and now if I can just get my piano to sound like my guitar’.

People say the Internet’s made of cats. The reason isn’t because of cats; it’s because people like to have an emotion where they say ‘aww’ all at the same time.

The working class who toil everyday to pay their rent and put food on their families’ tables are tired of being lectured by the fat cats in Washington and Brussels who preach what we need and when we need it.

History is filled with weird but true stories of social contagion – from dancing manias in the Middle Ages to nuns pretending to be cats in the 19th century to laughing epidemics of Tanzanian school girls in the 1960s.

Everyone says I should leave it. But of all the cats I have saved, the one I remember is the one I can’t catch.

I talk about my cats all the time.

My cats – I have Luna who’s just had kittens recently and we called one of them Dumbledore. They’re nice but they’re not like their characters.

I don’t hang out with soft cats.

Puppies and kittens are both great. Cats and dogs are not for me.

Sorry, I love the internet. Since I got my cats, I don’t look at clips so much. Like a teenage boy with a real live girlfriend. But I am always sucked into clips of unlikely animal friendships.

If you like Harry Hill, you’d really like Tony Law. He’s a Canadian comic who’s done a few appearances on ‘Never Mind The Buzzcocks’ and ‘8 out of 10 Cats.’ Nobody else could do his stand-up; it’s very idiosyncratic, very daft, very silly, but really well structured.

I had a lot of respect for Prodigy. He brought the hood to the booth. When we were trying to shape this rap thing into something, he was one of the cats I respected for bringing the hood into the booth.

I do quite like that Andrew Lloyd Webber song from ‘Cats.’ What’s it called? ‘Memory?’ Sends shivers up your spine.

Like all pure creatures, cats are practical.

I was asked before to go out on ‘8 out of 10 Cats,’ and I’ve been asked to go on ‘Question Time,’ I said to no to that. I don’t see myself coming across well on that sort of thing.

Owners of dogs will have noticed that, if you provide them with food and water and shelter and affection, they will think you are God. Whereas owners of cats are compelled to realize that, if you provide them with food and water and affection, they draw the conclusion that they are God.

Black cats. They kill me every time. I can just feel it when I see one. The only thing that gets me is black cats.

Cats know, comin’ out of four, they better be standin’ on it, else they’ll be standin’ in it.

Our family always rescued animals from local shelters or from the street or from someone who didn’t want their animal. We always had a dog in our house. We usually had two cats. We had guinea pigs and little chicks and chickens.

Cats are very independent animals. They’re very sexy, if you want. Dogs are different. They’re familiar. They’re obedient. You call a cat, you go, ‘Cat, come here.’ He doesn’t come to you unless you have something in your hand that he thinks might be food. They’re very free animals, and I like that.

Confidence, as a teenager? Because I knew what I loved. I loved to read; I loved to listen to music; and I loved cats. Those three things. So, even though I was an only kid, I could be happy because I knew what I loved.
