"We were the leopards, the lions, those who take our place will be jackals and sheep, and the whole lot of us - leopards, lions, jackals and sheep - will continue to think ourselves the salt of the earth." - Prince Don Fabrizio Salina (The Leopard, 1963)

Though, in this case, it's not a case of one leopard...or two...or whether the leopard changed its spots...rather, it's a instance of which leopard looks best from behind. Namely, this rather cheerful little fellow from Mulberry...whose demeanor is rather more kitten than alley cat...

Or his slightly more ferocious (vintage) brother...

On reflection...though there's nothing wrong with cute...I think I want something a little more carnivorous clambering up my coats this winter.
