Austin Theory’s young, super-talented and thinks he’s the cat’s meow. But I’m just going to punish him. It’s going to be pretty funny to see his eyes after the first few minutes when he realizes that there’s nowhere to run.
Censorship no longer works by hiding information from you; censorship works by flooding you with immense amounts of misinformation, of irrelevant information, of funny cat videos, until you’re just unable to focus.
God is really only another artist. He invented the giraffe, the elephant and the cat. He has no real style, He just goes on trying other things.
There was always music in my house when I was a kid. On Saturday mornings, my mother would clean house to 45s blaring out the songs of Neil Diamond, The Doors, Pink Floyd, Cat Stevens, Harry Chapin.
I can tell you I can work on four or five hours of sleep a night and cat nap all day, and I can go for 8 or 10 days on the road, and it doesn’t seem to affect me.
I would say there is probably a little bit of me in each character. But Purrscilla is a lot like me because she is very into glam and glitz and jewelry and everything very girly. And some of the jewelry in the illustration is even my own jewelry. But I’m not a cat fan – that’s the only thing! I’m a dog person.
There is this cat and mouse game that plays out over time where our team comes up with new and interesting ideas to identify content that we shouldn’t recommend, and over time people are constantly probing that, trying to figure out how can they get around that and get a better reputation on Yelp.
I don’t wake up each morning saying, ‘Oh, wow, it’s me. I think I’m the cat’s meow. I’m the best.’
My ginger tabby cat Oscar – he’s got his own passport – he comes everywhere with me.
I can’t tell you how many people have asked me to show them Stray Cat Strut and that little diminished run on the C. I guess my brain is wired backwards. I don’t know what possessed me to do that, but I did.
All the trouble you will cause by not leaving a will. All the heartache! Family feuds are going to happen anyway, so be as clear as you can. And even if it’s only to leave it to the cat’s home, make a will.
From when I was born to when I was 21, I never left Toronto. That’s why I’m such a city cat.
In ‘Cat on a Hot Tin Roof,’ I couldn’t take my eyes off Judith Anderson as Big Mama.
A cat will be your friend, but never your slave.
We almost decided on a dog and a fox before we hit on the idea of using a cat and mouse.
If you hold a cat by the tail you learn things you cannot learn any other way.
I’m not Ted Nugent. My house is run, essentially, by an adopted, fully clawed cat with a mean nature. I would never hunt. I would never wear fur. I would never go to a bullfight. I’m not really a meat and potatoes guy.
I constantly want to know – what is a table, or what is a cat?
I was always determined that one way or another I would force a book on the world, even if I had to resort to writing one about a tabby cat who solves mysteries.
I’m the disciplinarian. Nick doesn’t discipline. The cat can do whatever it wants. It can scratch on the furniture. It can do whatever it wants and Nick doesn’t do anything about it. So I have to yell. I’m the bad cop. He’s the good cop.
When I eat, I have to chop up everything on the plate and stir it all together. It devastates my mom. Everyone at the table is like, ‘That looks like cat vomit.’ And I stir my Coke with a spoon until it’s flat.
Curiosity did kill the cat, but I’m very curious.
I don’t party. I’m a total homebody. I like hanging out with my cat, and I’ve actually been known to stay home and knit.
I think my cat is adorable, and I probably give it too much fresh chicken. Maybe if I had a child, I’d be giving the chicken to the child.
Ben Smith’s quick-hit campaign ‘scoops’ are about as viral as cat videos. That fits with Buzzfeed.
Lana Del Rey seems to be bothering everybody because she allegedly ‘remade’ herself from a folk singing, girl-next-door type into an electro-urban kitty cat on the prowl (of course I like her), and they feel she is inauthentic.
I used to come down from New Rochelle and go to Radio City. They’d have a floor show and a movie. I’m showing my age, but I saw ‘Cat on a Hot Tin Roof’ and ‘Broken Arrow’ with Jimmy Stewart. It was a great way for a kid to see a movie.
We are more than the sum of our biochemical functions. Even the tiniest flea is an incredibly complex living creature, with mouth-parts adapted to feeding on the blood of your cat or dog.
Being effective at social media, whether for business or personal use, means capturing people who have short attention spans. They’re only a click away from a picture of a funny cat, so you have to make your thing more compelling than that cat. And that can be a high bar.
My first cat was named Cowboy, after the Dallas Cowboys.
I set out to expose the issue with big cat ownership in America and where that exploitation lies.
I love Stuart Scott. There are a lot of people that tore down barriers that we don’t really acknowledge sometimes. He was one. I think James Brown was too. That cat was a soul brother when it wasn’t very popular to be one.
We journalists tell the public which way the cat is jumping. The public will take care of the cat.
I’m a bit of a scaredy cat. Personally, I don’t like to be kept up at night.
I like animals, all animals. I wouldn’t hurt a cat or a dog – or a chicken or a cow. And I wouldn’t ask someone else to hurt them for me. That’s why I’m a vegetarian.
I’m certainly a real homebody. But the truth is that I understand that desire to, in a way, go join the circus. That’s what got me out of Long Island and into show business. I was like, ‘I’m just going to have an adventure. I want to be a person that isn’t surrounded by their mail and their cat.’
A cat, I am told, has nine lives. If that is true, I know how a cat feels.
I don’t have any children. I just have a cat, to my parents’ dismay.
I remember when I was a younger cat, I always thought the veteran guys talked too much.
In film, I was surprised when I first saw the movie ‘Drive.’ I said, ‘Oh, God. It sounds great – I love it. Wow, this could be the soundtrack from ‘American Gigolo’ or ‘Cat People.’ But I’m surprised that the director would agree with a composer to write that kind of sound.
As a person navigating the waters of public scrutiny, you are often unable to hold on to personal heroes or villains. Inevitably you will meet your hero, and he may turn out to be less than impressive, while your villain turns out to be the coolest cat you’ve ever met.
That’s one of my favorite Matador records: Cat Power, ‘You Are Free.’
Yes, I am just a type who likes to watch the cat out of the tree. I want to start quietly, and then always build, always go higher.
There’s a part of me that wishes I could go out in T-shirt and jeans, ’cause I really love Patti Smith, Cat Power, girls who look so casual; that appeals to me ’cause I guess it’s the opposite from what I do. But I can never let myself just do that – I always have to try and dress up and create something.
I try not to set myself up as different or as a celebrity or special. I have a husband that can get on my nerves. I have kids that test my patience. I’ve got a cat I can’t keep off the sofa. It’s real. On a bad day, I’m reading ‘Acts of Faith.’
Cats are very independent animals. They’re very sexy, if you want. Dogs are different. They’re familiar. They’re obedient. You call a cat, you go, ‘Cat, come here.’ He doesn’t come to you unless you have something in your hand that he thinks might be food. They’re very free animals, and I like that.
A cat pours his body on the floor like water. It is restful just to see him.
When you’re through with your cat, you can’t throw it in the trash.
If I show you pictures of my grandmother, what you see is these eyes – cat eyes – and high cheekbones.
I wasn’t a hoarder, but I was on my way. I went to thrift stores and never didn’t buy something. A lot of cat figurines, needlepoint, afghans. Grandma stuff, I suppose.
Choupette literally has the finest tuna, the finest of everything a cat could ever have.
Where I was living, there was a backyard, and we had a lot of neighbors with cats. These cats used to just sit on the wall, and one day I just turned around and there was a cat sitting there.
I do get approached occasionally, but not a ton. I’m unrecognizable because I’m coated in cat hair and sweat. And there’s a sort of yeti quality to my presence… so I don’t think that people can see the face.
A Cat Stevens record isn’t just Cat Stevens’ ideas. It’s Cat Stevens and all the musicians who play with Cat Stevens, right?
Honestly, what I have the most fun with, I just hang out with my cat, and I go online, and I talk to my followers, and I have real conversations with them.
It’s so French to be a cat person.
When you go into a person’s house, and you smell that wash of cat smell, it’s the human’s fault, not the cat’s. Cats want everything to be clean around them. They want where they live to be clean, they clean themselves, they want a clean litter box.
Miss Minutes was inspired a bit by Felix the Cat, and cartoons of that era.
The press likes to create cat fights with girl bands.
