Fun and easy.
Cute
this was cute but too simple
the title gave it away, i think you should choose a less obvious and a title that makes you think more
other than that, awsome job!
other than that, awsome job!
that was too easy you should make them alittle more difficult....
Cute one!
Title definitely gave it away...
Thanx for the feedback. I made the teaser simple because my kid sister keeps telling me that she can never solve riddles on Braingle. It made me think about the other Young members and i thought i would try to cater from them too. Sometimes we all forget that there are younger members in the Braingle community too.
This was fun, I liked it because it wasn't really difficult or anything.
the title totally gave it away but i thought too hard and said it was Puss in Boots!!
cute one.
That PUR-fect thing gave it away
Thanks for a fun and easy one. While we do forget some of our younger community; there are also the ESL community member who at all levels also enjoy these brain teasers. Some of these have been great for classroom activities.
Thanx for the comments OldChinaHand and for realising it's appeal. I agree that the ESL community also like these type of teaser too.
For those who are unsure ESL stands for (English As A Second Language) CHEERS

Great but too simple
I love cats but way to easy even my friends sister who is 7 knew that try harder ones look what other prople have wrote take ideas off of them
I liked the teaser, but one look at the title gave it away
Why so personal? although the teaser is rather simple i don't think it merits that sort of abuse. Does anyone agree with me? I enjoy being a part the the braingle community but it's members like you King that ruins it. Constructive critisism is cool but not personal abuse.
Don't listen to him Dodger! I thought it was good. Cute and easy.
A giveaway, but very cute. Very good for those younger riddlers.
Grade-school level - TOO EASY
IS there a Braingle for kids? That would be great.
Purr-ty good teaser! Yes, it was easy, but my tired brain needs something easy once in a while! And as someone mentioned, we have kids on this net, who need to cut their mental teeth! I once had a cat nemed Alexander the Great; he would have loved Catherine!
Duh! And Alexander could probably spell better than I did!
Great job! Thanks, I shared that with my son and he got it right away... Then I realized he was listening to me read it aloud! Kids are so smarty these days!
Thanks again!

Fantastic riddle! A bit tricky at first, but then it clicked! I really enjoyed it!!!!!
Written for the under 10 yr olds.
Maybe it was a bit too easy, but then again, what is easy for one person may not be for another.
Quite easy, but nicely written. Thanks for posting.
Easy, and a great riddle!!!!
Easy, and a great riddle!
The title sort of gave it away, but oh well...
sweet!
sweet!
I agree. It is really cute but way too simple.
Cute kitty!!!
Easy!
i thought it was a nice little poem, and well writtten.
but as far as riddles go, it was way too easy for my taste. a good one for the youngest of the younger crowd.
but, no matter what the age, you must admit it was nicely written.

Don't take the harsh posts to seriously. I like the easy ones as well as the hard ones. A certain percentage of the population just aren't happy unless 1) they think they are better/smarter than you or 2) they are complaining. I'm sure everyone here works or has worked with both of these type of people.
You can tell #1's because they either tell you your work is lacking, or too easy,no matter how difficult the question is,and the 2's because they are just derroatory in the way they treat you. Braingle has their share of both. Luckily it's avery small percentage, and the rest of Braingle's members are very supportive. My ggratitude goes out to all of you that are supportive. Writing these puzzles is not nearly as easy as it appears.
I can't understand why these complainers make posts in the first place.

Cute and easy. Loved it!
I'm glad it was an easy one. It was a perfect go-with with the trivia quiz for today: a bible one. I have extremely limited knowledge of the bible, so I got some "redemption" here!
cute! the title made it a bit easy, but cute and obviously loved!
It was PUR-fect
I solved it right away but I had my lil sister come in here and try to solve it. She's starting Kindergarten this Wednesday so it was PUR-fect for her.
