The cat sometimes raises philosophical points that annoy or baffle Alice; but appears to cheer her when it appears suddenly at the Queen of Hearts' croquet field; and when sentenced to death, baffles everyone by having made its head appear without its body, sparking a debate between the executioner and the King and Queen of Hearts about whether a disembodied head can indeed be beheaded.

Mad trolling to the logical power of x². Last but not least, here's the Cheschire Cat's grin again, with its full application to Quantum mecanics in a Schrödinger's cat manner, in the glorious crazy ENTP-5w6 Dr. Strangelove, with his own great difficulties staying still, and also conflicting, dividing body: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZct-itCwPE And for an actual ENTP-7w8, see the Mad Hatter!
