*****************SPOILER**************
Charlie and Joan started feeding the stray cats on their property, which had the effect of attracting other animals in this case Roddy the raccoon. He would glom onto some of the morsels for himself. One tiny kitten took exception to this, arching his back, hissing, and fluffing out his fur. Roddy could have sliced the kitten in two, but contented himself with just arching and fluffing back, thus seeming to live by the principles of 'Do unto others as you would have them do unto you,' and 'Do not return evil for evil.' He did not, however, give up the morsel.
Later, while Charlie & Joan were sitting on the porch, Roddy came along the rail, stood on his back paws in front of them, and lifted his front paws.This might have been a gesture either of aggression or submission, or something else, but it did look like the 'Praise the Lord' gesture, or 'returning thanks.'
Of course, Charlie and Joan's camera was several rooms away.
And I hereby return thanks to Galfisk and all who took part
