“There is no 'cat language.' Painful as it is for us to admit, they don't need one!”
“Cats are always there when you need them, asleep, telling you with their body language that they don’t need you.”
“We need cats to need us. It unnerves us that they do not. However, if they do not need us, they nonetheless seem to love us.”
“Cats don't need to be possessed; they're evil on their own.”
“But maybe that's what the dead do. They stay. They linger. Benign and sweet and painful. They don't need us. They echo all by themselves.”
“cats choose us; we don't own them”
