And, brave .... oh man .... they've faced down rattlesnakes that have gotten in the house. There's a saying: "When faced with a threat, a human child will turn to find a protector, a puppy will roll over in submission, but a kitten will face the threat and fight back in furry defiance."

That reminds me of the scene in whichever Laura Ingalls Wilder book it was - (I think Little House on the Prairie) - where they finally get a kitten because the mice are driving them out of the house and when it's still only a baby it fights and kills a mouse.
Ok, that qualifies for longest runon sentence of the day. Back to my caffeine...
