Puzzle 207

Here are a few quotes by Mark Twain:

"A man who carries a cat by the tail is
getting experience that will always be
helpful. He isn't likely to grow dim or
doubtful. Chances are, he isn't likely to
carry the cat that way again, either. But if
he wants to, I say let him!"

"Of all God's creatures there is only one
that cannot be made the slave of the lash.
That one is the cat. If man could be
crossed with the cat, it would improve
man, but it would deteriorate the cat."

"One of the most striking differences
between a cat and a lie is that a cat
has only nine lives."
