I'm on the quote-hunt again...googling as always, but just thought to see if anyone might know of something that might work.

In particular, I need something about chasing or hunting or loving the chase, maybe something about the game of cat and mouse or something similar. Any ideas?

[edit] ones found, any favorites?

"By scratching and biting, cat and dog come together."
- anon.

"It's simple. You run. We chase. If we catch you, you die. We'll give you three minutes head start." - Jez

"Those who will play with cats must expect to be scratched."
~ Cervantes

"Mieux vaut la chasse en amour que la prise."
--Étienne Pasquier, Jeux poétiques
In love, the chase is better than the catch.

"It doesn’t matter whether you’re a lion or a gazelle-when the sun comes up, you’d better be running." - Anonymous

"Cats were put into the world to disprove the dogma that all things were created to serve man."
- paul gray

"There is no hunting like the hunting of man, and those who have hunted armed men long enough and liked it, never care for anything else thereafter."
- Hemingway

"Some people say that cats are sneaky, evil, and cruel. True, and they have many other fine qualities as well." ~Missy Dizick

If a fox is unable to befriend a tiger, then the fox should create an illusion of close association with the tiger by carefully trailing behind the cat while boasting of the deep friendship they share. In this way, he creates an impression that his well being is of great concern to the tiger.
Chin-Ning Chu

(doesn't really work but large chunks of Deadwood make more sense now.)

Cats are autocrats of naked self-interest. They are both amoral and immoral, consciously breaking rules. Their "evil" look at such times is no human projection: the cat may be the only animal who savors the perverse or reflects upon it.
Camille Paglia

The question isn't who is going to let me; it's who is going to stop me.
