oda al gato...

El hombre quiere ser pescado y pájaro,
la serpiente quisiera tener alas,
el perro es un león desorientado,
el ingeniero quiere ser poeta,
la mosca estudia para golondrina,
el poeta trata de imitar la mosca,
pero el gato
quiere ser sólo gato
y todo gato es gato
desde bigote a cola,
desde presentimiento a rata viva,
desde la noche hasta sus ojos de oro.
Pablo Neruda (something about a cat!?)



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



"You know how it is with cats: They don't really have owners, they have staff."
P.C. Cast
