The family resemblance
Going through the 2007 video frame by frame, I found quite a few individual images that really stood out to me. In these two, Slick to my eye looks exactly like his mother in one frame, and milliseconds later, he looks like a clone of his other direct matrilineal forebear: Little Mama.
Slick looks like Scoots's reincarnation here:
Then, after turning his head ever-so-slightly, he's the spitting image of his grandmother:
And he REALLY looks like Little Mama in this one...
I know that almost everyone reading this (excepting oliver_otter) probably can't see any difference between the top images, but trust me, the degree of Slick's resemblance to his maternal kin in these two frames is almost spooky. It's also kind of surprising to me, though, because in his younger years, I didn't think Slick had much of "the family resemblance." But now that his fur is taking on the "grizzled" appearance of age - especially in his face - he clearly looks like the rightful inheritor of his lineage.
