Pet Cryptograms
Quotes about the small tyrants we live with.
The Czar keeps a dog. The dog does not keep the Czar. This file collects what writers, comedians and assorted sentimentalists have said about the animals who have colonized our homes and our furniture, each one locked behind a substitution cipher.
Animal quotes tend to be short and warm, which makes this a forgiving set to start on. Short quotes mean fewer letters, and fewer letters mean the ones you crack travel further. Watch for DOG and CAT - three-letter words with no repeated letters, sitting in a text that is obviously about dogs and cats, are a gift.
