Eli Siegel is the person in all of history, culture, thought, who identified the central qualities or components of beauty in any work of art, object, or living thing - and why it matters for our lives. He stated this principle: "All beauty is a making one of opposites, and the making one of opposites is what we are going after in ourselves."
Cats put together, among other opposites, strength and grace, ferocity and gentleness, domesticity and the untamed, sharp claws and cuddliness. A cat can look so at home curled up on a bed or on a radiator, but you never lose the feeling that you're close to something so wild and untamed.
