SoyArtista, Umm. It's my riddle. I wasn't cheating. Or.... did you try to cheat? Anyway. Nope. It's not that kittens are furry. Jinoda, Nope. However, a fragment of your guess does scratch the surface.
Does it have something to do with Atomic Kitten? The british pop group. atomic vs complex.. So the answer: one is atomic, the other is not?
My second stab: A Kitten has Claws, while a Complex Sentence has Clauses? If that's not it then I can't think of any other way to word it (although looking at your granny/granary riddle this one seems to follow the same style, so I believe I'm pretty close to the answer).
Yea, I tried to cheat Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! I'm ashamed of me. I like the Claws/clauses answer, since I still dont' have an answer of my own.
Jinoda, Very, VERY close. My next hint would have been that we are dealing with parts of kittens and parts of complex sentences... But, the answer is not complete. This would be the answer to the riddle, "What do a kitten and a complex sentence have in common." You've discovered that. Now you need to figure out how they're different.
No attention span. I'll never make it through Browning's poem again (I did years ago, if I'm thinking of the right poem). I do recall it mentioning cats.
I was being coy by bringing up the poem. Actually, the source was a novel inspired by the poem. Stephen King's Dark Tower series. The riddle was told by a superintelligent train. A monorail, to be precise. Blaine is a pain. Anyway. Back to the riddle. Let's see what has been wrangled out. Claws and paws. Again. This describes what the kitten and the complex sentence have in common. So. Let me ask this. Where, on the kitten, are the claws?
Well, they are at the end of it's <i>paws</i>, but a complex sentence can have pauses as well (so they have that in common, unless I am mistaken). I <i>could</i> say they are on it's feet, but that makes no sense in terms of complex sentences. Legs? Arms? Extremities? None of these make sense to me, only paws/pause and claws/clause. Argh *!* Okay after rereading your "Granny/Granary" riddle and thinking this kitten one was in a similar style (as I said before), I think I've got it (thanks in part to my own wording earlier). So the kitten's claws are at the end of it's paws, while the complex sentence's pause is at the end of (or after) it's clause!
