They know when to sleep and when to be awake, when to be social and when to spend time alone. Humans would do well to learn this sense of balance. The cat is the most patient of creatures. She plans for hours, even days, how to catch a mouse or tease the dog. She waits, she sleeps, she dreams, and then she pounces.
Cats speak in quiet voices, but they always manage to get themselves heard.
Cats show us how much we can accomplish without yelling, shouting and screaming. Cats never seem to be in a hurry. They sleep about eighteen hours a day. Yet nothing is left undone. They hunt so effectively that an outdoor cat can decimate the local bird population.
