Kitten Attacks Apples. To a kitten, life is filled with strange new things.

Kitten Attacks Apples

Sometimes they are nice, like your human scratching behind your ears for the first time. Sometimes they are irritating, like the barking of that pesky dog with whom you've been forced to share a home. And sometimes you just don't know what to make of them, like the two apples on the bed in the video below. Who really knows what was going through this kitten's little gray head to make it act so strangely at the sight of seemingly innocuous apples, but whatever it was, I'm just glad that someone caught the odd and hilarious behavior on camera!

Your ability to move in the fourth dimensions in addition to the usual three allows you to perform miraculous feats like seeing inside closed buildings, walking through walls, stealing objects from closed containers, binding two separate rings without breaking them, etc... These actual consequences of the mathematical formulation of 4D space have been thought about for more than a century (in the 1884 novella Flatland for example) but it is the first time anyone can actually perform them, thanks to the video game medium.
