Forum:Spock Quote Re: Cats
I am looking for a remark that Spock made with regard to cats. I can picture the scene-- Spock has a cat in his lap and says something to the effect that they are fascinating and serve no real purpose. One of my friends thinks it is from "Assignment Earth" because of Isis. I have tried to look it up, but to no avail.

Does anyone know the exact quote and from what episode?

 * I can't think of anything about cats, but I think you're thinking of where Spock says that he sees no practical use for tribbles in one scene and in another is seen abesnt-mindedly stroking a tribble while commenting on being immune to the tranquilizing effects of tribbles' cooing. --TommyRaiko 03:28, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

Hmmm... I could be confusing the line with, however, there is definitely a similar scene with Spock commenting on cats... Unless someone really knows the quote offhand, I think what is going to happen is I am going to have to watch all the suggested episodes that include Spock and a cat. It's not like I'm going to object to watching Star Trek ;-) Amitiel 06:26, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

Woohoo! YouTube comes through! It just required the right search... The scene is from "Assignment Earth" (Though on YouTube the person has improperly called it "Operation Earth"). Spock is holding Isis, and Kirk says to him, "What do you make of the cat, Mr. Spock?" to which Spock replies, "Quite a lovely creature, I find myself strangely drawn to it." I am fairly sure there is one other instance that I am possibly thinking of, and I am determined to find that one too. Amitiel 06:41, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
