Ahh, a cat in his natural environment. A box.
Note, if you will, the little shard of cardboard flying through the air in the last photo. Action!

edgar looks so cute in the box. at the counter looks like he's had a few too many beers and cigs. the box his natural domain brings out all that handsome kitty-ness.

In that second image, you captured PERFECTLY the moment before a cat strikes. And then of course, the bite, that strangely loving consummation. Vampires got nothin' on cats.
There's a book called "The Tribe of Tiger," and it's fantastic. My favorite part is when the author reminds us that "cats are a kind of tiger." In Edgar's case, I would say "panther," but there it is. Thanks for the up-close view of a hunter at work.

You people have clearly blocked out what a doofus Edgar is most of the time. Allow me to remind you:

But in these "Let's give the death bite to the cardboard box" images, he is *not* a doofus. Our inner mice tremble.
