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.

Ahhh I want to be a cat now!
Lovely pink cats!
Cute, cute blocks! My kitties would add that good air conditioning aids in Their (capital T) well-deserved comfort.
Cute blocks. Got to love kittens and cats.
Those are a lot of fun, Cathy! I loved the description of them, too. I've never lived with a cat, but it sounds very true considering what I've heard from other cat people!
My favourite author. Such an apt quote to go with your pink kitties.
What a delightful array of pink kitties!
Love your pink kittens collection.
I love the pink floral ones!
Such gorgeous pink kittens!
Love the quote! So true! I think I should learn a thing or two from the kitties!
The kittens look so cute in pink scraps!
Two pictures and a quote? Wow!!
I love Robertson Davies and that's a great quote. He was obviously a cat person. Your pink kitties are 'beautiful and delightful' too.
I love the combination of tiny kittens and 9-patches--a perfect match!
Oh I love this post! The quote fits my kitty and I adore your blocks!
Meowing in agreement!
