I think one reason we admire cats, those of us who do, is their proficiency in one-upmanship. They always seem to come out on top, no matter what they are doing - or pretend they do. Rarely do you see a cat discomfited. They have no conscience, and they never regret. Maybe we secretly envy them.

  • -- Barbara Webster 芭芭拉·韦伯斯特

我认为我们崇拜猫的一个原因是,我们这些喜欢猫的人,他们擅长胜过别人。无论他们在做什么,或者假装他们在做什么,他们似乎总能获得成功。你很少看到一只猫狼狈不堪。他们没有良心,从不后悔。也许我们暗地里嫉妒他们。
