The Black Panther

It sneaked into our garden and confronted me with a snarl.
What is it ? A Black Peruvian Panther ? Ready to pounce and make a meal of me ?
Noooo...
Just a tiny black kitten, yawning mightily, stretching its lithe body and then carelessly walking away.
It didn't even say "thank you" for the delicious meal I provided for its breakfast.
