He suggests so much grace, power, beauty, motion, mysticism.
I do not wonder that many writers love cats;
I am only surprised that all do not.

All goats are mischievous thieves, gate-crashers,
and trespassers. Also, they possess individual
character, intelligence, and capacity for affection
which can only be matched by the dog.

The beast which passeth all others in wit and mind.

you may be freeing him from being a camel.

All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful:
The Lord God made them all.
