"Percy was a comfortable middle-aged bachelor with quiet tastes and fastidious habits, who distributed his contempt equally among small children, yipping dogs, and noisy adults.  His own manners were impeccable, his reputation blameless.  In fact, Percy would have been considered somewhat stuffy, had he been a man.  Being a cat, he was admired for his good behavior."  (From "Weekend of the Big Puddle" in The Cat Who Had 14 Tales by Lilian Jackson Braun)
