Kamikaze.

It was a nontrivial challenge to take a focused photo of Porco Bruno. He was hyperactive and easily startled. I believe he was mildly brain-damaged. I don't know whether that was a cause or an effect of his fondness for jumping off high places.

 

Sometimes he'd have sudden little seizures and thrash around on his back with his paws in the air, then collect himself, blink a few times, and go about his hamsterly business. I took to referring to these episodes as "Porco Bruno seeing God again," because he looked like the hamster version of Saul on the road to Damascus.
