“ If having a soul means being able to feel love and loyalty and gratitude, then animals are better off than a lot of humans. ”

“ Cats are connoisseurs of comfort. ”

“ I wish people would realize that animals are totally dependent on us, helpless, like children, a trust that is put upon us. ”

“ I have felt cats rubbing their faces against mine and touching my cheek with claws carefully sheathed. These things, to me, are expressions of love. ”

“ I hope to make people realize how totally helpless animals are, how dependent on us, trusting as a child must that we will be kind and take care of their needs. ”

“ I am never at my best in the early morning, especially a cold morning in the Yorkshire spring with a piercing March wind sweeping down from the fells, finding its way inside my clothing, nipping at my nose and ears. ”
