What a nice kitty!

'Nice milk for a nice kitty.'

She kept it up until a bumpy-skinned boy came forward dangling an old tom by the scruff of its neck: "You wants a nice kitty, miss?

Oh, is the nice kitty there?

If they had met up with a jaguar, she probably would have called it a "nice kitty"!

Would we rather have been able to save the money and have a nice kitty?
