Li va posar un estrenyecaps amb una gran llaçada al coll, després el va vestir amb unes calcetes de quan era molt petita i, perquè no li arrosseguessin, vinga fer-li sacsons per tot arreu; a l'últim li va posar una xambra i, quan el va tenir ben disfressat, el va tornar a deixar damunt de la seva cadira, i ell, com una fava, es va quedar allí amb els ulls mig clucs.

1931, Antoni Sabater i Mur, L'edat d'or:

You see, one day, the tomcat, as always, was sitting in that chair over there and Mariola had the idea of disguising him as a clown. She put a nightcap with a big bow around his neck, then dressed him in some panties from when she was very little, tucking them up everywhere so they wouldn't drag behind him; finally, she put a housecoat on him and, when she had him well disguised, returned him to his chair where he stayed, like a fava bean, with his eyes half closed. But--look out!--through the garden door comes the molly, and when she saw her husband dressed like a mess, oh children of God! You should have seen her: all the hairs on her tail and back stood up--she looked like a brush; like a tiger, she threw herself on top of him and started scratching him all over, with her frightening claws.
