Cats (Spoilers all books incl RWC)

[maulkin]

According to Wikiquote , it was Pratchett, although the exact wording of the quote is "In ancient times, cats were worshiped as gods. They have never forgotten this."

The Wikiquote Cats page also has a lot of other excellent cat quotes. This one reminded me particularly of Hobb's dragons:

The kitten has a luxurious, Bohemian, unpuritanical nature. It eats six meals a day, plays furiously with a toy mouse and a piece of rope, and suddenly falls into a deep sleep whenever the fit takes it. It never feels the necessity to do anything to justify its existence; it does not want to be a Good Citizen; it has never heard of Service. It knows that it is beautiful and delightful, and it considers that a sufficient contribution to the general good. And in return for its beauty and charm it expects fish, meat, and vegetables, a comfortable bed, a chair by the grate fire, and endless petting.
