Death in Holy Orders

"A large ginger cat was curled, plump as a cushion, on a low button-backed chair. At their entry he raised a ferocious head, gazed fixedly at them then, affronted, descended from the chair and lumbered out to the pantry. They heard the click of a cat-flap."

P. D. James
Death in Holy Orders

Héhéhé. Chat outré.
