Human beings are drawn to cats because they are all we are not — self-contained, elegant in everything they do, relaxed, assured, glad of company, yet still possessing secret lives.

More quotes by Pam Brown
Dads are most ordinary men turned by love into heroes, adventurers, story-tellers, singers of songs.
Pam Brown
Medicines may be necessary. Flowers lift the heart. But your smile is the best restorative of all.
Pam Brown
Always smile back at little children. To ignore them is to destroy their belief that the world is good.
Pam Brown
If you've only one breath left, use it to say thank you.
Pam Brown
When sisters stand shoulder to shoulder, who stands a chance against us?
Pam Brown
For every person who has ever lived there has come, at last, a spring he will never see. Glory then in the springs that are yours.
Pam Brown
Sisters don't need words. They have perfected a language of snarls and smiles and frowns and winks - expressions of shocked surprise and incredulity and disbelief. Sniffs and snorts and gasps and sighs - that can undermine any tale you're telling.
Pam Brown
For sheer excitement you can keep movie premieres and roller-coasters . An empty white canvas waiting to be filled. That's the thing.
Pam Brown
For the sake of the sons - and even for the son's future wives - a woman must keep a part of her mind and heart entirely for herself. Every family is better off with a wife and mother who can astonish and occasionally dewilder.
Pam Brown
A sister is the cure for swollen heads and ego trips. One may a star, a Chief Executive-famous and rich and beautiful. But one's sister has the family photo album. And a long, long memory. And a tendency to wink at one on Top Occasions.
Pam Brown
A younger sister is someone to use as a guinea-pig in trying sledges and experimental go-carts. Someone to send on messages to Mum. But someone who needs you - who comes to you with bumped heads, grazed knees, tales of persecution. Someone who trusts you to defend her. Someone who thinks you know the answers to almost everything.
Pam Brown
Give a pup a home and a little love and he will give you his heart forever.
Pam Brown
Horses lend us the wings we lack.
Pam Brown
If there is a heaven, it's certain our animals are to be there. Their lives become so interwoven with our own, it would take more than an archangel to detangle them.
Pam Brown
The baby rises to its feet, takes a step, is overcome with triumph and joy - and falls flat on its face. It is a pattern for all that is to come! But learn from the bewildered baby. Lurch to your feet again. You'll make the sofa in the end.
Pam Brown
Friendship is not diminished by distance or time, by imprisonment or war, by suffering or silence. It is in these things that it roots most deeply.
Pam Brown
We expect too much at Christmas. It's got to be magical. It's got to go right. Feasting. Fun. The perfect present. All that anticipation. Take it easy. Love's the thing. The rest is tinsel.
Pam Brown
A cat likes to hear you calling him. He sits in a bush a yard from your shoes - and listens.
Pam Brown
Cats can work out mathematically the exact place to sit that will cause most inconvenience.
Pam Brown
The trouble with sharing one's bed with cats is that they'd rather sleep on you than beside you.
