essvee, he’s just a little shelter kitty. No idea where he came from. But he’s not going anywhere else now. 🙂

I dunno, I look at **dwyr’s** kitty and all I can think of is it thinking, “I will make you pay! I WILL MAKE YOU ALL PAY!!!” Because we all know kitties are secretly plotting to overthrow mankind.
I also see kitty thinking, “You may think I’m cute, but I can shred you. I am pirhana kitty!”
It’s a good day to be strange, don’t you think?

Thank you, emilyforce. I do like to see dogs and cats getting along. My MIL’s dog terrorizes her kitty, and it pisses me off.

[More](http://www.contracheck.com/cats/) for you, **essvee**. I think [this one](http://www.contracheck.com/cats/02FebMar/source/1416.html) really has some of that walnut-brain flavor.

Calcite

Our new kitten (just got him a coule days ago)
This is Mulder
[http://www.strangeseeds.com/pictures/cats/P1010006sm.jpg](http://www.strangeseeds.com/pictures/cats/P1010006sm.jpg)
He destroyed his toy you see in this video in a matter of one day by effectively chewing it off the string. Now he carries it in his mount and throws it up in the air for a quick attack.

All right, I’m not a mod, but I have to put a stop to this.
What’s wrong with you people? This thread needs to be closed immediately.
All these stories and pictures are so cute, my brain is overloading.
dwyr - You’re looking to get banned, if you keep posting pictures so cute they make people’s heads explode.
DopeWizard - Not only did you link to a video of a kitten playing, but the kitten has a spotted tummy.
Everyone listen to me carefully: Pictures of kittens with spotted tummies will not be tolerated on this board.
Why is that so hard to understand?

See, I dunno about a walnut brain at all. Calvin has figured out how to open the screen door, and it definitely isn’t from watching us.
He will pretend to sit there, looking out onto the balcony, and when he’s sure no one’s watching, he’ll stttrreeettccchhh his arms out and hook his claws into the screen and begin to pull. The uninformed casual observer might think he’s stuck and trying to pull his claws out, but no. He’ll increase the pulling until he’s shaking the entire screen: _chunka chunka chunkidachunkidachunkida!_. This will continue until the door has slid open enough to allow egress. Then he will calmly detach himself and stroll out onto the balcony.
Of course, he really doesn’t learn from past experience either, so it could be his higher functions continously evolve and devolve: After I [broke his leg](http://boards.straightdope.com//sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=179571) when he came crashing into me, you’d figure he’d avoid getting in the way of my big ol’ feet. Now, fully recovered, he’ll run in front of you and flop down on the ground looking for a tummy rub. If you keep on going, he’ll get up, run two feet, and flop down again. Over and over and over. Now that’s all well and good, except he hasn’t quite learned to flop down far enough in front of you so that you can _see_ him. Seeing as how I still feel some residucal guilt from the leg-breaking incident, I’m always watching where he is when I’m walking around, so no problems yet. But he’s riding the ragged edge of disaster, I can tell you that much.
Pictures are in my homepage, link at the bottom.
