Joan: I've seen her scrounging around the block for days now. I figure she's a stray.
Linda: Not anymore, friend — 'cause this little darling's just been adopted! Isn't that right, little Streaky?
Joan: You sure don't waste time thinking up names! How'cum Streaky?
Linda: Oh... Let's just say she reminds me of a cat I used own!

A little orange cat looked out at her. He had a white star-like mark between his eyes.
"We always knew how you liked cats, dear," said Allura. "It isn't good for you to be so alone. He isn't Streaky, but he should do."
Kara smiled. Streaky was off someplace, or dead. She hadn't seen him in years. But Mom was right, she did love cats. She unhooked the cage door and let the cat curl up in her arms.
"Hey, White Star," she said, cuddling it to her shoulder. "How you doing? Do you like me?" The cat nuzzled its head against her shoulder and purred. He knew how to con a good meal with the best of them.

"It's nothing to do with me," [the ruler of the Universe] said. "I am not involved with people. The Lord knows I am not a cruel person."
"Ah!" barked Zarniwoop, "you say 'The Lord.' You must believe in something!"
"My cat," said the man benignly, picking it up and stroking it. "I call him the Lord. I am kind to him."

Aldo: Come to think of it, you said Davis wasn't a bad guy before you even met him. How did you know that?
Shion: Oh, it was simple. He has a cat.
Aldo: Uh-huh. And?
Shion: No cat lover can be a bad person.
Aldo: Huh? I guess having a pet shows he has a kind heart, maybe... But you find bad people with cats around sometimes, right?
Shion: Such villains are not true cat lovers! If you meet any evildoers that claim to love cats, I will personally prove they are lyin—nrgh!
Aldo: Shion? Is something wrong?
Cat: Mrow! Meow!
Shion: Would you like some sardines?
Cat: Mew mew?
Shion: No? All right...
Aldo: Maybe you're right about cat lovers.

Miscellaneous
"I am one of the most fanatical cat lovers in the business. If you hate them, I may learn to hate you."
"I had a visitor the other night, who gave me an idea for a good story. He was a furry, four-footed young visitor, with a black coat, white gloves and boots, and white around the tip of his nose and the tip of his tail. He sat in a chair near me, purring most inspiringly, when I permitted my fancy to consider his ancient race and heritage."
— H. P. Lovecraft, in a letter to Reinhardt Kleiner, May 21st, 1920
"We love kitties, gawd bless their little whiskers, and we don't give a damn whether they or we are superior or inferior! They're confounded pretty, and that's all we know and all we need to know!"
— H. P. Lovecraft, in a letter to James F. Morton, December 1926
