I’ve always slightly preferred Spade to Marlowe, probably just because I thought Hammett was cooler than Chandler. He was leftwing, his name shortened to Dash rather than Ray, and he didn’t smoke a pipe or like cats. – Mark Billingham
If someone was out all day, we wouldn’t give them just one cat, because they would be lonely – we would give them two cats. – Celia Hammond
Entrepreneurs are like cats, because they are independent and do their own thing. Although organisations say they like cats, what they really want is sheep that they can herd. – Max McKeown
People’s financial situation has changed, and they surrender their cats all the time, because they’re downsizing or moving to a property where they are not allowed to have pets. – Celia Hammond
My favorite thing to pass the time in the makeup chair is YouTube videos of talking cats. I don’t know why, but they make me laugh. – Doug Jones
The Cat Dancer is a 30-inch piece of wire with some little cardboard cylinders on the end. My cats go crazy for it. I stuck it on the wall with the adhesive mount, but I ended up taking it off so I could hold it and play directly with my cats. – Mark Frauenfelder
My tragedy is that all I want is a dog, and yet I have been cursed with cats all my life. – Michael Sheen
I’ve always loved going to see Broadway shows. I’ve seen ’em all: Rent, Chorus Line, Cats, West Side Story, Guys & Dolls, Wicked, you name it! – Michael Showalter
I don’t think I’d like to be a different person. But I do sometimes see my cats lolling about and think it would be nice to be one of them. – Cameron Dokey
I mean, I have done scenes with animals, with owls, with bats, with cats, with special effects, with thespians, in the freezing cold, in the pouring rain, boiling hot; I’ve done press with every syndication, every country; I’ve done interviews with people dressed up as cows – there’s honestly nothing that’s gonna intimidate me! – Emma Watson
Take one female cat over a seven-year period. If all the kittens survived and bred, she would be responsible for 21,000 cats – they are such prolific breeders: you can see how important it is to neuter. – Celia Hammond
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. – Celia Hammond
I had a Tesla. I was one of the first cats with a Tesla. But I’m telling you, I’ve been on the side of the road a while in that thing. – George Clooney
I have met so many of my idols – like Ray Charles, Brian Setzer – all these cats that are legendary musicians. If they had said to me, ‘Hey man, I’m busy,’ it would have crushed my soul. – Drake Bell
I’m not much for cats. I’m terrified of mice. I’ve worked a lot with elephants, and they are extremely intelligent and sensitive, and thankfully, they seem to like me. You never want to get on the bad side of an elephant. And never trust a chimp. – Mary Ellen Mark
I make a genuine distinction between loneliness and aloneness. I know what each is like. There are times I’m lonely. But there are also many times when I need to be alone, when I don’t want the feeling of someone else in the house other than the cats. – Edward Bryant
I’m not one of those complicated, mixed-up cats. I’m not looking for the secret to life… I just go on from day to day, taking what comes. – Frank Sinatra
We’ve gotten involved in cat rescue – we take them in and find homes for them. I’ve always loved cats. I saw how homeless cats were living out there. We take them in, put out flyers. – Greg Ginn
My mum bought discounted tickets for shows like ‘Cats’ and ‘Les Miserables’; I became completely enamoured. – Emily Ratajkowski
It is hard to get animals which normally pay little attention to each other to do things together. One can teach dolphins to jump simultaneously out of the water precisely because they show similar behavior spontaneously, but try to make two domestic cats jump together and you will fail. – Frans de Waal
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. – M. Emmet Walsh
It is easy to fall into despair thinking about all that is wrong with the world. The joys seems so small in comparison. Internet videos of cats riding Roombas just can’t compete with a father talking about how his dead 13-year-old son had wanted to be a pilot. – Donna Brazile
When I was 18 I worked with the Ringling Brothers circus, taking care of menagerie animals. I used to rather deliberately risk my life with the big cats. – Edward Hoagland
Go to Cleveland Clinic, Mayo Clinic, or any college and you’ll see libraries, dormitories, and a lot of buildings that were a result of the generosity of fat cats. – Foster Friess
