Family Time

"On the other side of the room, a rush lamp burned. Forrest's father sat in his favorite chair, reading his penny paper before the fire with Nubbins, the family cat, on his lap." -The Ravenmaster's Secret by Elvira Woodruff

Creature Comfort

"Grace gazed out the window, across the sunlit meadows of her estate. Her cat, Saladin, snuggled beside her as he had throughout her illness, but his presence was not enough to comfort her today. She was about to set in motion events that might cause the end of civilization." -The Maze of Bones by Rick Riordan
