Kitten Science

Greetings reader. My name is Adam Pierson, PhD. I am a Kitten Scientist. I have created this feed with the express purpose of sharing my findings in the realm of Kitten Science. Kitten Science is a fascinating subject, Kittens have been alive for at least a hundred years, but what do we really know about them? The Ancient Egyptians used to worship and fear their magical powers. Some have theorized that back then, kittens were much more powerful than they are now, and used their magics to build the ancient pyramids. It is believed many powerful kittens were killed during the Renaissance when they were hunted to near extinction for their highly musical intestines, which fashioned many a violin string. Today, Kittens are primarily pets, a far cry from godhood. Though history has not been kind to what little research may have been done decades ago, when dinosaurs roamed New Jersey.
I have always been innately fascinated by Kittens, they are gentle creatures, though they have an almost infinite capacity to destroy sofas with their bare claws. I decided to pursue an education in biology to learn more about these animals. At the time, I was extremely idealistic, and was horrified that I would be required to dissect a dead Kitten. I immediately told the dean of Harvard I didn't care how sorry he was, I was leaving at once to start my own school, and that it would be my goal to publicly shame Harvard in the the realm of science. I turned around and stormed out and he chased after me, begging and pleading for me to stay. I felt bad for him and after much negotiating agreed, but on one term. I be awarded my degree immediately and brought on to teach all science pertaining to Kittens. He eagerly accepted my terms.
After the ether wore off I realized that I'd been talking to the Janitor, who only agreed to placate me and get back his mop, which I had stolen for bargaining leverage. Security threw me out and I began an independent study of kittens. Initial examination uncovered a lot. Kittens have tongues made of sandpaper, and use "Catseye" marbles for eyes. I was fascinated by their resourcefulness and made it my life's work to understand them fully. I published my findings and subsequently received a government grant to continue my research. After various failed experiments I decided I ought to return to school to further my general knowledge.
During my final year I met a cat who changed my life. His name was Sir Fuzzy Puddlewinks, he was one of my grad school professors. He was impressed by my passion for studying kittens and had read my early work, calling it "focused, but lacking depth". He thought I would do well in a highly technological environment, and invited me to join him at his London Based Think-tank "Consortium for Feline studies". Sir Fuzzy Puddlewinks had been abandoned by his mother at a young age and raised by a couple unable to give birth to a child of their own. In college he decided to pursue studies relating to his heritage, which he knew little about but was endlessly curious. After graduating he used his English charm to court top scientists from around the world to join him in studying Kittens. I became his protege and later moved back to the states to start my own facility, and raise awareness of Kitten Science.
And so we find ourselves here and in the now, however an understanding of how this site came to be is not enough. We must move forward in our search for knowledge. I shall post my findings here for discussion, and reflection. And in turn I would request you share your thoughts with me. Ideas come of ideas, together we shall be both muse and artist and together we shall learn from each other. With that said, welcome to the exciting world of Kitten Science.

Excelsior~!
