The Kitten Who Could Write

One day, a man was on his way home from work when he saw a stray kitten walking beside the road. His 9 year old daughter had always been bugging him for a cat, so he figured it was about time to get one. He stopped, opened the door, and picked up the kitten, who immediately began nuzzling and purring loudly. The daughter squealed with delight when her father brought the kitten in the house, and she took the kitten, ran to her room and began playing with the kitten.

A week later, the man was doing work on his computer, when he looked in on his daughter and the kitten. The daughter was coloring in her books and the kitten was batting at the moving pen. The man chuckled warmly to himself, then a thought came to mind, "What a great idea it would be if I could teach the kitten to write!" Later that night, after the daughter went to bed, the kitten came into the office, jumped up on the desk and began batting at the pens scattered about the desktop. The man thought, "Hmm, there may be something to this idea after all." He placed a pen between the kitten's paws and watched, and the kitten simply sniffed at the pen, turned its nose up at it, and walked away.

The next night, the daughter was in her room again coloring in her books with the kitten playing with the tip of the pens. The daughter left the room to go to the kitchen for some cookies, and the man went into the room and once again placed the pen between the kitten's paws. Once again, the kitten sniffed the pen, then turned its nose up and walked away.

A few nights later, the father was working at the computer while the daughter lay on the floor of her room coloring once more in her books. The daughter left the room, and the man watched with delight as the kitten picked up a pink pen between its paws and began scribbling circles on the paper. Later that night, the kitten jumped up on the desk, and the man placed a pen between the kitten's paws, but the kitten simply sniffed at the pen, turned its nose up, and walked away.

The next night, the man looked in on his daughter and the kitten, and the kitten was once more scribbling circles with the pink pen. After the daughter went to bed, the kitten once more jumped up on the desk, and the man placed a pen between the kitten's paws. The kitten sniffed at the pen, then watched as it fell to the floor. The man rubbed his chin in thought, then went into his daughter's room and retrieved the pink pen. To the man's delight, the kitten laid down on the desk and began scribbling circles on the paper with the pink pen. The man took the pink pen and gave the kitten a blue pen. The kitten simply let the blue pen fall to the floor. The man tried a black pen, a red pen, a green pen, even a purple pen, and the kitten simply would not scribble with anything but the pink pen.

So the man began working with the kitten and the its pink pen. Within a week the kitten and its pink pen were forming letters. Within the month, the kitten and its pink pen were forming words. In a matter of two or three months, the kitten and its pink pen were forming sentences, then paragraphs, then complete essays. Within the space of one year, the kitten and its pink pen even finished a full length book. The man was so delighted over the achievements of the kitten and its pink pen, he sent the book in to be published. Bet you can't guess what name the kitten published its book under? Oh, come on, now! You know this one…It's…It's, Wait for it…… It's…….The Pink Penther!

Hello friends. I have always been somewhat of an open minded and "out there" kind of person. I like to look at things from, let's say, unconventional points of views. A lot of things can be learned and discovered if you just apply "outside the box" thinking. I am not afraid of a little controversy, I welcome it. My favorite thing to do is make connections that none would consider. Name any two objects, concepts, or other aspects, the more unlikely the better, and I will find a way to connect them. Go ahead, try me. I dare ya!
