The Case of the Careless Kitten by Erle Stanley Gardner -- in which the solution of the case, not to mention the exoneration of Della Street from the criminal charges brought by Hamilton Burger, rests upon the correct interpretation of a kitten's behavior.
Gardner had to have shared his house with a kitten -- his descriptions of the kitten's behavior and mishaps brought similar examples to my mind from my own experiences with Pixie - my careless kitten. (or brainless... or fearless ... or clueless ....)
