"Cats are intended to teach us that not everything in nature has a purpose"

- Garrison Keillor

About this Quote

This quote by Garrison Keillor is a tip that not whatever in nature has a function. Cats are an ideal example of this, as they are often viewed as independent and aloof creatures that do not serve any specific purpose. They are not domesticated animals like dogs, and they do not have any specific job to do. Instead, felines are just a part of nature, and their presence functions as a suggestion that not whatever in nature has a purpose. This quote encourages us to value the beauty and mystery of nature, and to acknowledge that some things in life are merely implied to be delighted in and valued, with no particular purpose. Felines can be a source of pleasure and companionship, and their existence in our lives can be a reminder to value the appeal of nature and to recognize that not everything in nature has a purpose.
