Cats and Dogs

From Dogs and Kitties

"We were talking about cats and dogs the other day and decided that both have consciences but the dog, being an honest, humble person, always has a bad one, but the cat is a Pharisee and always has a good one. When he sits and stares you out of countenance he is thanking God that he is not as these dogs, or these humans, or even as these other cats!"

C.S. Lewis on Luke 18:9-14,
in a letter to Mary Willis Shelburne
12 March 1955
