- To go rabbit-hunting with a dead ferret (to undertake an enterprise with improper means).
- He loves you as a ferret does a rabbit, to make a meal of you.
- He's like a rabbit, fat and lean in twenty-four hours.
- It would make a dog doff his doublet.
- It would vex a dog to see a pudding creep. (It would vex me, too - Curator)
- He bides as fast as a cat bound to a saucer.
- You'll keep it no longer than you can a cat in a wheelbarrow.

That was interesting. I didn't know any of those proverbs. By the way, I'm now following your blog via Bloglovin.
Thanks for following! I hope some of my readers are going to your wonderful site. I love seeing every cat and location you post. I hadn't heard any of these either, and what's more, right after I found these, I also found a book with 6000 Tamil proverbs. There were many cat ones I had never heard. I'm putting them in my upcoming eBook (which is taking me forever).
