I have observed Elves more closely than any other Hobbit, I daresay, and noticed a resemblance which may not be flattering, but is worth jotting down. Elves are very like cats. Generally calm and watchful, even appearing lazy, but ever-aware of what goes on around them. When startled or angry, they can command a presence to seem twice as large and threatening as usual. One should not push the resemblance too far, however. I am far fonder of Elves than of cats, and I should not like to imagine Elrond's reaction if someone were to set him to catch mice.
