Minatory
• \MINN-nu-tore-ee\ • Adjective - Having a menacing quality.
The
fluffy, white-haired kitten puffed its fur and took what it thought would be a
minatory appearance to the slowly advancing German Shephard guard dog. Far from
appearing threatening, the continued hissing and growling of the diminutive
feline only made it more adorable to the mother instinct of its looming canine
friend.
