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.
