מדרש אויף בראשית 7:9

"Behold, wickedness travails and conceives mischief, and brings forth falsehood." Rabbi Levi said that when God told Noah to bring two of every kind into the ark, they all came in as pairs: "Two by two they came to Noah, into the ark, male and female of every living thing" (Genesis 7:8-9). One creature, the chameleon, came alone. It went to Noah and asked to be paired with another chameleon. Noah said, "I cannot help you unless you have a mate." The chameleon went away and brought back a mate. It then approached the ark, but was stopped by a cat which asked, "Where are you going?" The chameleon replied, "I am going into the ark." The cat said, "I will come with you." The chameleon replied, "You cannot come, for you are not one of my kind." The cat said, "I will become like you." So the chameleon said, "If you become like me, then you may come with me." The cat then went away and returned with a striped coat. When they reached the ark, the cat went to Noah and said, "I am a chameleon and I want to come into the ark." Noah replied, "You are not a chameleon." The cat said, "I will prove it to you," and changed its colors. Noah let it into the ark, but the cat caused trouble with the other animals. From this we learn that whoever lies will bring trouble, and whoever speaks the truth will be saved.

And Moses went, and returned unto Jethro his father-in-law. Prior to this is written: And when the Lord saw that he returned to see … and He said: “Moses, Moses” (Exod. 3:4). R. Abba the son of Kahana said: Everyone whose name is repeated in immediate succession experiences life in both worlds: Noah, Noah (Gen. 6:9); Abraham, Abraham (ibid. 22:11); Jacob, Jacob (ibid. 46:2); Moses, Moses (Exod. 3:4); Samuel, Samuel (I Sam. 3:10); Perez, Perez (Ruth 4:15). However, someone retorted: Is it not also written: These are the generations of Terah, Terah (Gen. 11:27). He replied: Even he had a portion in both worlds, for our patriarch Abraham was not buried until he was assured that his father, Terah, had repented, for it is said: But thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace (ibid. 15:15). Abraham said to the Holy One, blessed be He: Master of the Universe: Shall I go to my fathers, though I have stored up good deeds in this world? The Holy One, blessed be He, answered: Be assured: Thy father hath repented. Hence his name was repeated.

Noah said to the Holy One, blessed be He: Sovereign of all the world! Have I then the strength to collect them unto me to the ark? The angels appointed over each kind went down and gathered them, and with them all their food unto him to the ark. They came to him of their own accord, as it is said, "And they came unto Noah into the ark" (Gen. 7:9); they came by themselves. "And they brought (them) to Noah" is not written here, but, "And they came unto Noah into the ark."
