There are people all over the world who like to write fan letters in the voice of their pet: ‘Hello, my name is Fifi and I’m a labrador and I think you’re great. Paw paw!’

Cats know how to obtain food without labor, shelter without confinement, and love without penalties.

Do not make the mistake of treating your dogs like humans or they will treat you like dogs.

And I strongly believe people should rescue dogs, or, at the very least, listen to Bob Barker and have your pet spayed or neutered.

My idea of a perfect pet is a really, really big dog! Huge!

I have this pet thing about how global communications are moving so fast now, throwing information at you, making everything available to you, and yet I feel it’s leaving us more and more isolated.

Cats have it all – admiration, an endless sleep, and company only when they want it.

Kittens are wide-eyed, soft and sweet. With needles in their jaws and feet.
