Velleity
Darby issued soft warning growls in Harry's direction, but, evidenced by her lack of action, they were more a velleity than a statement of determined intention.*
* I found the word velleity in a newspaper article this weekend. I read a lot so I don't often find new (to me) words. For some reason I love this word and hope I've used it correctly in that sentence.

Hey Darby!
Wow, you're more patient than I am! I would have issued a really big Sarge-BARKBARKBARKBARK and scared that poor kittie right outa his fur! BOL. Great word and my Mom's gonna try to use it too.
Grr and Woof,
Sarge, Super-Student
Since we don't know the word velleity, we're sure you used it correctly...BOL!
Glad Darby lets Harry know his place...even when napping.
