\nOne look at Zoey is all it takes – there are simply no further words needed to do justice to this quote by the late author, Georgina\u00a0Stickland Gates.<\/p>\n

Dr.Georgina Stickland<\/strong> Gates (1896 – 1981) was born in Brooklyn, New York and received a Ph.D. degree from Columbia University in 1919. She was an assistant professor at Barnard, retiring in 1934. Her book, “The Modern Cat: Her Mind and Manners,” was published by Macmillan in 1928.<\/em>\u00a0\u00a0Source: The New York Times<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is of note as well, that the spelling of her last name remains somewhat inconsistent in the usage of this very popular cat quote. I have seen it spelled “Strickland” with an “r” as well as “Stickland” without the “r.” Her obituary is spelled without the “r” as well as her listing in The Cat Fanciers’ Association Foundation library. If anyone has an actual copy of this book, I would be very interested in how her name is spelled in print as the author.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
