* In ''The Short Victorious War'':
** The scene where Honor is floating in a pool, and Nimitz starts bombing her with tennis balls. Her warning "Throw it and you're bedroom shoes!" and subsequent [[CatchAndReturn retaliation]] (treecats like water about as much as do the Earth felines for which [[CallASmeerpARabbit they're named]]), is a fun little lighthearted moment. Especially given [[WarWasBeginning what happens later]]. (This leads to a BrickJoke a dozen books later when Honor's BlackBestFriend Mike is shown to have been given fluffy slippers by Honor, slippers styled to look like purple treecats.)
** When Honor Harrington asks her old friend Michelle Henke for help with makeup.
--->'''Mike:''' Our coloring is just a ''[[{{Understatement}} bit]]'' different, you know.[[note]]Honor Harrington is of European and Asian descent and quite pale, while Mike -- whose family is descended from African-Americans -- is very dark.[[/note]]\\
'''Honor:''' Does that matter?
** When a pair of Peep battlecruiser divisions assigned to ambush a light cruiser accidentally run into a Mantie dreadnought, an inverted DescriptionCut occurs as the narration jumps from the Mantie bridge -- where we see the watch officer (a ''communications'' officer, and self-admitted tactical ignoramus) order the ship to swing to port simply because the starboard sidewall came up first -- to the Peep flag deck:
--->Admiral Pierre swallowed a groan as the dreadnought snapped around and her sidewall swatted his broadsides contemptuously aside. He'd never seen a ship that size maneuver so rapidly and confidently. She'd taken barely ten seconds to bring her sidewalls up and get around—her captain must have the instincts and reactions of a cat!

* In ''Mission Of Honor'', when Admiral Crandall arrives in Spindle, she waits for a while before opening communications, intending to make the Manticorans sweat. When she does hail them, instead of the terrified Manticoran officer she expects, she gets Gregor O'Shaughnessey, idly reading a novel at his station, [[RefugeInAudacity not even ''noticing'' the Admiral at first]]. It's a wonder that Crandall doesn't suffer an apoplectic fit.
* In ''Fire Season'', young (but quickly growing up) Stephanie Harrington is severely twitterpated over a handsome boy by the name of Anders Whittaker, who is accompanying his father on an expedition to study the Sphinxian Treecats.  Her treecat companion, Climbs Quickly, is troubled by his companion's agitated emotional state, and unsure of what's wrong.  His sister spells it out for him, and only now, after knowing her for a book and a half, does he realize that Stephanie is ''not'' an adult, but an adolescent human going through all of the same problems that adolescent treecats have.
* Doctor Whittaker's expedition finds itself cornered in a bog by some kind of very hungry alligator-analogue.  Realizing that it is sensitive to sound, they fend it off for a time by singing obnoxious campfire songs as loud as they can.
** When [[TheCavalry the local treecat clan]] arrives with Stephanie and company to help them, the 'cats use pretty much the exact same strategy, collectively issuing forth a sound described as being ear-splittingly painful even for the humans.
