&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;ldquo;There are other ties which cats put on our affections.  We enjoy their intelligence and grace; and we feel a strange sense of companionship and consolation in their presence.  But these are ideas we can understand by words. The reasons for their appeal to us can never be expressed too clearly.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;  &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;(&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Lloyd Alexander)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
