Example:
The Cat thought, "My human servant feeds me the wet food, he does an adequate job scratching behind my ears - even with his pitiful claws, and he does attend to the scut work required to maintain my litter box in the salubrious state I demand. Yet, I cannot resist tripping him up when he tries to walk down the stairs".
