> [@Baker](#): > > I, for one, welcome our new feline overlords. Proof that the Dopers share part of one giant brain - I just shared the video on FB before reading the rest of the thread - that was my comment when i posted it. You can take the person out of the Dope, but you can’t take the Dope out of the person ;). And damn, I love orange kittens. This kitty looks almost exactly like my Malcolm. Luckily, Malcolm doesn’t sound like he’s getting a rectal temp check at the vet like the cute guy in the video. ---
