   I'd be happy to meet an ailuromorphic human, provided I had some   
   kind of guarantee that it wouldn't eat me.  (Or failing that,   
   full armor.)

   Lewis also remarked (in _The Four Loves_ if I mistake not) that   
   he'd said to a friend that it was surprising how often dogs and   
   cats could be friends; and his friend replied, "Yes, but I bet   
   the dog would never admit it to the other dogs."
