"The mathematical probability of a common cat doing exactly as it pleases is the one scientific absolute in the world."
—Lynn M. Osband

Cats are known (and loved) for their peculiarities, from the predictable to the utterly perplexing. The world’s greatest minds pay tribute to the world’s most peculiar pets. Quotes from cat-lovers and cat-toleraters alike, If It Fits, I Sits is a new kind of quote book about what these feline friends and fiends bring to our lives.

Praise for If It Fits, I Sits: The Ultimate Cat Quote Book

"Obviously this author is entranced and bewitched and also bewildered by cats. Together with colorfully displayed portraits of different felines in their most beguiling poses, Brooke Jordan has collected the comments of cat-lovers over the ages, from the Egyptians who worshiped them to contemporary figures who find themselves bemused yet delighted by their imperial behavior. The contents are loosely divided into sections talking about cats and their idiosyncrasies, comparing cats to dogs, felines and their human aspects, and other cat features.The naturalist Joseph Wood Crutch remarks that cats never suffer from insomnia, while Will Rogers claims that 'lettin’ a cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier than puttin’ it back in.' Listen to Doris Day, who swears that you haven’t lived until you’ve lived with a cat, or follow Ernest Hemingway, who find that one cat leads to another. Those infected with the awe of cats, surrender to their domination of the home, ignore furniture scratches, dismiss hairballs, and carefully remove the shed fur. Cat lovers succumb to a few purrs and are entranced by the mystery of the cat’s enigmatic behavior. This delightful book extols the gifts that cats bestow on its keepers."
