She was very neat in her dress, and her coiffure, always trim and tasteful, with none of the Bohemian carelessness or the exaggerated smartness of many artists even in that she was catlike, instinctively aristocratic, although she had risen from the gutter. At bottom she was incurably shy and wild. She must have been a little less than thirty.
Therefore the horses had been carefully rubbed down, and the saddles replaced. In many instances the bridles also had been put on again, with the bit merely slipped from the mouth. In all cases they lay or hung within reach of the tired troopers, who, one after another, were dropping off into the catlike slumber of a cavalry outpost.
An excellent trait in Geeka was that she never interrupted in order to talk about herself. Today was no exception. She had been listening attentively to Meriem for an hour, propped against the bole of a tree while her lithe, young mistress stretched catlike and luxurious along a swaying branch before her. "Little Geeka," said Meriem, "our Korak has been gone for a long time today.
He made a catlike spring at the foremost man, who happened to be Oleson, and got a merciless grip with his fingers on his throat, snarling like a predatory animal over its kill. From behind, Andy, with Weary to help, pulled him off. "I didn't mean to to kill anybody," gasped Oleson, pasty white.
They beat upon Steve's body and face as a hammer does upon an anvil. Only by his catlike agility and the toughness born of many clean years in the saddle did the cowpuncher weather for the time the hurricane that lashed at him. He dodged and ducked and parried by instinct, smothering what blows he could, evading those he might, absorbing the ones he must.

It was desertion. "Dan," he said, "I know what you've done for me and I know what you're doin' now." He took the slender hand of the other in his big paw. "If the time comes when I can pay you back, so help me God "
Sir Charles obeyed this missive, and the lady received him with a gracious and smiling manner, all put on and catlike. She talked with him of indifferent things for more than an hour, still watching to see if he would tell her of his own accord. When she was quite sure he would not, she said, "Do you know there's a ridiculous report about that you are going to be married?" "Indeed!"
Arrochkoa, whose catlike mustache has lengthened a great deal and whose feline expression is accentuated, runs to him with extended hands, with an effusion that he did not expect, in an enthusiasm, perhaps sincere, for that ex-sergeant who has such a grand air, who wears the ribbon of a medal and whose adventures have made a stir in the land: "Ah, my Ramuntcho, when did you arrive?
Now Dolores half-closed her own inscrutable eyes, and watched them, catlike, cunning. Pearse sprang from the great chair and began pacing the floor in a heat. Venner alone seemed to retain any vestige of control over his feelings; and he rapidly lost his color and began to peer about him. One chest went out, and the cries of the slaves could be heard as they lowered it over the cliff.
The horse will be in a panic at the very sight of a tiger and will flee in terror. Even if a band of horsemen meet a tiger, all the horses will stampede in terror. It needs an elephant a trained elephant to face a tiger, as I have already described to you. And usually it needs several elephants to hunt a tiger. The tiger has also many more of the catlike qualities than the lion has.
