Hi there,
I was browsing through a gift shop that had lots of home made items. They had these adorable wooden cats with quotes on them. Here are a few of my favorite.
 
“A home is where the cat hair sticks to everything but the cat”
     
Newspapers.com
19 June 2004, Star-Gazette (Elmira, NY), “Festival as much fun as a barrel of monkeys” by George Osgood, pg. 4C, col. 4:
Pennsylvania folk artist Laurie Sherrell and husband Kevin worked out of one of the fair’s biggest booths, selling decorative, hand-painted signs for home or office.
 
The hundreds of signs were embellished with homilies wise or whimsical: “Friends are the family you find along the way,” “Home is where the cat hair sticks to everything but the cat,” “Grow old along with me, the best is yet to be.”
