Excerpt from The Seer, Vol. 2 of 2: Or Common-Places Refreshed

A Blazing fire, a warm rug, candles lit and curtains drawn, the kettle on for tea (nor do the "first circles" despise the preference of a kettle to an urn, as the third or fourth may do), and finally, the cat before you, attracting your attention, - it is a scene which everybody likes, unless he has a morbid aversion to cats; which is not common. There are some nice inquirers, it is true, who are apt to make uneasy comparisons of cats with dogs, - to say they are not so loving, that they prefer the house to the man, &c.
