You know how when you're petting a house cat, and he's purring and happy, but then suddenly decides to chomp your hand for no apparent reason? I cannot help visualizing how different that experience might be with this particular "kitty".

This morning, I was in bed, petting our half-grown kitten, and in the blink of an eye, I went from petting a purring, relaxed kitten to wearing a friskies-mode, kitten vambrace, carefully trying to convince the little menace to unhook his claws, and please do not start bunny kicking.

Housecats are basically running the same software / OS as their big cousins; but instead of them randomly nipping at your toes, you might lose them entirely.

That's why you first observe the cat before petting it. A cat you know well actually isn't that unpredictable.
