There was now a white bow-tie on the cat's neck, and a pair of ladies' mother-of-pearl opera glasses hung from a strap on his neck. What's more, the cat's whiskers were gilded.
'Why have you gilded your whiskers'? exclaimed Woland. And what the devil now you need the bow tie for when you are not even wearing trousers?
'A cat is not supposed to wear trousers', replied the cat with great dignity.

You're not Dostoevsky,' said the citizeness, who was getting muddled.
'Well, who knows,' he replied.
'Dostoevsky's dead,' said the citizeness, but somehow not very confidently
'I protest!', Behemoth (cat) exclaimed hotly. 'Dostoevsky's immortal!'
Your identification cards, citizens,' said citizeness.
Good gracious, this is getting ridiculous! A writer is defined by not any identity card, but by what he writes.

He muttered 'Fool!' to Margarita Nikolaevna's back.
'Scoundrel!' she replied, turning, and straight away heard the rehead's voice behind her.

'Difficult folk these women!' .... To give some administrator a pasting, or chuck an uncke out of the house, or gun somebody down or any other trifle of the sort - that's right in my line. But talking with a woman in love, no thanks!

"He cursed himself, calling out meaningless words, growled and spat, abused his father and mother for bringing a fool into the world. Seeing that curses and abuse had no effect ....demanded an immediate miracle from God."

'I'm telling you, he's capricious as devil knows what!' He doesn't like hotels. 'Believe me, they wring the soul right out of you! They come and either spy on you like the lowest son of a bitch, or else torment you with their caprices -- this isn't right and that isn't right!

'Police?' Ivan shouted into the receiver. Comrade officer-on-duty, give orders at once for five motorcycles with machine guns to be sent out to catch the foreign consultant. Come and pick me up, I'll go with you . . . It's the poet Homeless speaking from the madhouse* . . .

It's great fun, Derrick. The cat is my favorite character in the book. I would've written the continuation of this conversation if it were not for characters limit on GR.It continues thus:
'You are not going to tell me to wear boots , too, are you? Puss-in-boots exist in fairy tales only. But have you ever seen anyone at a ball without bow-tie? I do not intend to put myself in a ridiculous situation. Everyone adorns himself with what he can. . .I powdered my whiskers, that's all! If I had shaved myself, that would be different matter!
A shaved cat - now, that's indeed an outrage.
Ah, interesting indeed. Let me wait for your full review and see if it can jump up my reading list, but I'm already sold in.
