For if he meets another cat he will kiss her in kindness.
For when he takes his prey he plays with it to give it chance.

I'm like Cat here. We're a couple of no-name slobs. We belong to nobody and nobody belongs to us. We don't even belong to each other.

The sexes deceive themselves about one another: the reason being that at bottom they honor and love only themselves (or their own ideal, to express it more agreeably). Thus man wants woman to be peaceable—but woman is essentially, like the cat, not peaceable, however well she may have trained herself to assume the appearance of peace.
(Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900), German philosopher, classical scholar, critic of culture. Friedrich Nietzsche, Sδmtliche Werke: Kritische Studienausgabe, vol. 5, p. 96, eds. Giorgio Colli and Mazzino Montinari, Berlin, de Gruyter (1980). Beyond Good and Evil, "Fourth Part: Maxims and Interludes," section 131 (1886).)

You really were a panther, a wild-cat,
who tore me limb from limb;
my thanks for that.

One had a cat's face,
One whisked a tail,
One tramped at a rat's pace,
One crawled like a snail,
One like a wombat prowled obtuse and furry,
One like a ratel tumbled hurry skurry.
