Miscellany
Russian legend holds that the first dog was created without fur. He soon lost patience waiting for it and so ran after a passing stranger, who turned out to be the devil. Owing to this evil allegiance, the fur originally intended for him went instead to the first cat, from which derives the antipathy between their descendants: dogs believe cats have stolen their property.
How can we bear misfortune most easily? If we see our enemies faring worse.
—Thales of Miletus, c. 585 BC
