Every now and then the hero runs across a big animal he would rather not disturb. It's a bear, or a tiger, or Cerberus. Correct procedure is to back away slowly, making placatory sounds such as "Niiiice kitty... good kitty...", and then run just before the pounce. A Fluffy Tamer may stand a better chance of getting this to work than the average person. Occasionally the Kitty turns out to be an actual Nice Kitty, and acts like a giant kitten. Contrast Scare the Dog for occasions when the hero responds by getting louder and more intimidating rather than trying to placate the animal with soft noises. Also contrast Shut Up, Scary Thing!. |

The Simpsons: Homer is terrified of some grizzly bears he and Bart run into while on a camping trip, and murmurs "Nice grizzlies...Nice grizzlies..." Bart, meanwhile, is completely unafraid ("Later, grizzly-dudes"). After Homer and Ned get kicked out of Las Vegas, they decide to walk(!) back to Springfield. They are quickly set upon by a pair of vultures. |

Robin: Tim Drake once found himself stuck in a pit in the Armstrong's basement with an old circus lion "The General" had stolen. As he backed away and murmured placating things to the lion and it prepared to pounce he recalled that the lion's trainer was originally from Germany and snapped off a command in German it actually obeyed giving him enough time to get out. | |

Superman: The Animated Series: At the end of "Little Big Head Man", Superman sends Mxyzptlk to "help" Bizarro on his planet for three months to fulfill the "community service" the judges of his own dimension assigned him. As Mxy rolls a rock to "threaten" Bizarro's "town", he grumbles about quitting, and then sees Krypto, Bizarro's small, aggressive alien pet, running towards him. Mxy ends up treed, yelling commands at Krypto like one would a dog...much to Superman's amusement. | |

Complete inversion on Azumanga Daioh: The animal is tiny, not big; the character approaches it while placating it instead of backing away, and instead of it turning out to be nice, it turned out to be exactly as dangerous as it didn't look. Said character is Sakaki, a Kindhearted Cat Lover who has the world's worst luck with cats. | |

In Batman Returns, Catwoman and the Penguin use this on each others' pets (a canary for the Penguin and a black cat for Catwoman). It's an ironic example in that both are the aggressor rather than the victim, the two animals being completely harmless to humans. | |

Disney's Aladdin. Aladdin says to Rajah, "Down kitty...Look! A mouse!...Scat...C'mon, good tiger... Take off and go!...Down kitty". Infamously, many people misheard it as "Good teenager, take off your clothes," which led to it being edited out of the Platinum Edition DVD release. | |
