so, this still doesn't get me an array called 'cat', or 'dog'

sure does, in the stuff dictionary:

>>stuff = {}
foo = []
foo.append('cat')
foo.append('dog')
stuff[foo[1]] = []
stuff

{'dog': []}

(note that Python indexing starts with zero, so foo[1] refers to the dog
entry).

or do i somehow use stuff to add/extract the vals...???

>>stuff["dog"]

[]

>>stuff["dog"].append(1)
stuff["dog"]

[1]

etc.
