| The Cheshire Cat seems kind of like a paedophile to me. He goes around asking the little girl Alice stupid questions about philosophy and playing mind games with her, just like a paedophile would. Socrates, who was bisexual and was a philosopher, practiced pederasty and before he molested the boys asked them stupid question about philosophy, like he did in Plato's Charmides. The Cheshire Cat is doing the same thing to Alice. And he seems to be stalking her like a creepy old man. The author of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland Lewis Carroll, aka Charles Ludwig Dodgson, was a paedophile we now know, and he took nude photos of little girls, including Alice Liddell, the girl Alice in the book is based on. Carroll was born in a place in England called Cheshire. So I think the Cheshire Cat represents Carroll and may be a paedophile. Does anyone else here agree with my interepretation and should it be mentioned in the article. | The Cheshire Cat seems kind of like a paedophile to me.

- Support. I agree.

- Support. Is clearly a proper noun. Another case of Misplaced Pages Lowercasing Gone Mad (WLGM), methinks! FearÉIREANN

Discussion
Perception and Cheshire Cat theory
Anyone fancied writing something about this? I know about it only in very vague and possibly inaccurate terms. Someone much more qualified would be better placed to do this. nayf
Anyone want to do a write-up on why the Cheshire cat was a Cheshire cat and not some sort of other cat? --Dante Alighieri 02:53 Dec 6, 2002 (UTC)
- Seems it was just named after Carroll's home county. If there's another reason, I don't know of it. --Camembert
Should the "c"at be capitalized in the title? --Menchi 21:53 9 Jun 2003 (UTC)
- That would require a disambiguation page, since Cheshire Cat already exists. :-) Evercat 21:55 9 Jun 2003 (UTC)
- There probably should be a disambiguation page then. It's confusing to have capitalization-based distinction in article titles, I think. --Improv 17:07, 16 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Might be just me having a weak constitution, but the pic of AM's Cheshire Cat is really disturbing. Would it be overreacting to place some sort of warning with the picture so that younger audiences can avoid being mentally scarred?
- I think it would. Not even the photos on Holocaust have a warning, and if they don't, why should the Cheshire cat? "Disturbing image" labels have been generally held to be inherently biased, (who decides what is disturbing and what is not?) and so the Wiki tries to avoid them in the interest of neutrality. Besides, the Wiki isn't responsible for the mental health of younger audiences - the parents they should be surfing with are. ] 22:01, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

moved.
Pratchett
There's also a remark about the Cheshire Cat in Pratchett's Mort, I do not have access to the source text, could someone please fill it in? :) --Ouro 09:55, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
- Done. --Ouro 10:05, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
Original Research?
While an interesting treatise, the bit about being "God of Wonderland" sounds STRONGLY like original research without any cites, so I have tagged it as such. 68.39.174.238 02:14, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
- You're right - how did we miss that before? I removed it entirely; if the writer wants to return it, it will have to be better supported. - DavidWBrooks 11:13, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
Paedophile
The Cheshire Cat seems kind of like a paedophile to me. He goes around asking the little girl Alice stupid questions about philosophy and playing mind games with her, just like a paedophile would. Socrates, who was bisexual and was a philosopher, practiced pederasty and before he molested the boys asked them stupid question about philosophy, like he did in Plato's Charmides. The Cheshire Cat is doing the same thing to Alice. And he seems to be stalking her like a creepy old man. The author of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland Lewis Carroll, aka Charles Ludwig Dodgson, was a paedophile we now know, and he took nude photos of little girls, including Alice Liddell, the girl Alice in the book is based on. Carroll was born in a place in England called Cheshire. So I think the Cheshire Cat represents Carroll and may be a paedophile. Does anyone else here agree with my interepretation and should it be mentioned in the article. FDR | MyTalk 15:26:14 November 2 2006 (UTC)
