9. Absolutely not. If the turtle was terrified, he'd have retracted into his shell. I've lived

with turtles and know how they react when scared. If the kitten was terrified, he wouldn't have stuck around. I've lived with cats all my life and I know cat behavior. Give me a break. I don't do animal torture videos.

10. Exactly right. I think that's a box turtle (I had one once), and a scared box turtle

will hide in its shell with the "doors" shut. All turtles and tortoises will hide in their shells when they're scared. I don't know what was on the turtle's mind, but the kitten was play-attacking a strange creature in a defensive posture because he didn't know what it was. If he'd actually been frightened he'd have run away.

11. Actually it did

and tried to hide under the couch.

It was pulled out - and kitteh had its fur up.

Love your posts but sometimes lol goes too far.

14. The turtle lives in a human household. . .

and probably deals with all sorts of odd events. The kitten was being curious.

Neither creature was traumatized by the interaction. Turtles deal with more nerve-racking experiences in the wild and the kitten wasn't likely to be frightened by a slow moving cobble stone with feet.

13. If The Kitten Had Just...

acknowledged the high-five attempt this could have all been avoided.
