Good job Luckies4me, you got it!! Are you going to host the next puzzle?

[RockyRoad]

OK, Luckies4me is doing the next one!!

Great job everyone!!
Here's the answer:

It is a matter to gain the affection of a cat. He is a philosophical animal, tenacious of his own habits, fond of order and neatness, and disinclined to extravagant sentiment. He will be your friend, if he finds you worthy of friendship, but not your slave.
