of Wittie Persons.
He can hold the cat to the sun. Bold and foolish enough for anything.
Inconstant Persons.
He is like a dog or a cat. Not reliable.
He looks like a wild cat out of a bush. Fiercely afraid.
He's like a cat; fling him which way you will, he'll not hurt. Some are always superior to misfortune, or fortune favours many.
He's like a singed cat, better than he's likely. He's better than he looks or seems.
He stands in great need that borrows the cat's dish. Clarke, 1639. The starving are not particular. The hungry cannot choose.
