THE PROPHET: All cats can see futures, and see echoes of the past. We can watch the passage of creatures from the infinity of now, from all the worlds like ours, only fractionally different. And we follow them with our eyes, ghost things, and the humans see nothing.

Neil Gaiman (b. 1960) British author, screenwriter, fabulist

Sandman, Book 3. Dream Country, # 18 “A Dream of a Thousand Cats” (1990-08)
