Talking, thinking cats are nothing new (as I mentioned two intros back). Schrödinger places itself in the minority that the cat is fully intelligent. Very often, cats end up as pointlessly destructive and mean. A 1-dimensional character doesn't get you very far. Schrödinger still has the devious tendencies ascribed to cats, but he also has goals to his actions.
While the normal feline weapons are there and well-used, more clever displays abound. Many 'intellegent' cats end up loosing their claws and a few other very animalistic weapons on their foes. In creating anthropomorphized animals there's a combination of human and animal traits. It's very common to go to the extremes (such as a talking cat that is nothing more than a cat which can talk on one end, and the humans with nothing more than ears and a fluffy tail on the other). Schroödinger shows off premeditation, setting events in motion that will reach his goals.
Plays on words appear regularly but the expected (and boring) catatonic- and cataclysm-type don't appear after the first few strips. (Also in this comic) Schrödinger shows off the soliloquy style often associated with Calvin and Hobbes (This strip in particular reminds me of the emergency G.R.O.S.S. HQ).
