"Confront a child, a puppy, and a kitten with a sudden danger; the child will turn instinctively for assistance, the puppy will grovel in abject submission, the kitten will brace its tiny body for a frantic resistance." -- Hector Hugh Munro (b. 1870-12-18, d. 1916-11-14), better known by the pen name Saki

[Whenever I see this quote -- I know someone who uses it as a sig-quote -- I think of one particular scared, itty bitty black kitten convincing an adult human to be afraid of him.]
