   Yar!  Remember in "Tomorrow is Yesterday," when the cat runs STRAIGHT(!)
towards the door?  First, what kind of cat would run full tilt into a door?
What I thought was neat though, is that the door only opened enough to let
the cat out.  So, anyway, the door must be able to tell the size of the 
creature going through the it.

Maybe in Spock's case it saw he was crying and figured he needed some
privacy...
