"A kitten is in the animal world what a rosebud is in the garden" — Robert Southey

Man is the most intelligent of the animals - and the most silly

A lover tries to stand in well with the pet dog of the house.

Until one has loved an animal a part of one's soul remains unawakened

It's the last straw that breaks the camel's back.

A man who carries a cat by the tail learns something he can learn in no other way

I finally know what distinguishes man from the other beasts: financial worries
