I've got a few that can turn the lights on and off .... there are times I can see then deep on thought over solving some kitty problem, and then they'll test an idea, and if it works ... oh boy!!

And, brave .... oh man .... they've faced down rattlesnakes that have gotten in the house. There's a saying: "When faced with a threat, a human child will turn to find a protector, a puppy will roll over in submission, but a kitten will face the threat and fight back in furry defiance."
That reminds me of the scene in whichever Laura Ingalls Wilder book it was - (I think Little House on the Prairie) - where they finally get a kitten because the mice are driving them out of the house and when it's still only a baby it fights and kills a mouse.

Ok, that qualifies for longest runon sentence of the day. Back to my caffeine...
