Cat and Pub and Wodehouse

“Cats are not dogs!”…

“Cats,” proceeded the Pint of Bitter, “are selfish. A man waits on a cat hand and foot for weeks, humouring its lightest whim, and then it goes and leaves him flat because it has found a place down the road where the fish is more frequent.”

“What I’ve got against cats,” said a Lemon Sour, speaking feelingly, as one brooding on a private grievance, “is their unreliability. They lack candour and are not square shooters. You get your cat and you call him Thomas or George, as the case may be. So far, so good. Then one morning you wake up and find six kittens in the hat-box and you have to re-open the whole matter, approaching it from an entirely different angle.”

– from P. G. Wodehouse, “The Story of Webster”

[Update: A correspondent points a refutation from that most famous catblogger of all.]
