Tuesday morning cat spam

So, Trooper and Sprite have been wrestling in my room.  Here you see the resulting carnage.

Looks like I'll be spending some time picking magazines up off the floor.

Sprite, in the meantime, has volunteered to take over the filing.  Or at least, the filing basket.

Observant readers will immediately recognize the file basket that Trooper had adopted as his own.  You will also notice that Sprite, who is. . .Considerably Less Substantial than Trooper, is overflowing the confines, and putting ghod knows what kind of stress on its  wicker walls.  From this, we must conclude that Trooper is a contortionist of no small skill.

Having established his ascendency over both Sprite and my carousel magazines, Trooper has retired to his box.

Especially having seen pictures of Trooper all sprawled out in his full glory... yeah, I don't know he fits into that basket either. But he seems content in his box now.

I have first hand evidence of VLKs (very large kittehs) fitting into seemingly too small spaces. I have a 14-pounder who fits effortlessly into an 8 x 12 x 4 box and sleeps contentedly rolled up like a snail shell for hours at a time. I have noticed a marked size difference between "sprawled" and "rolled up." Sprite appears to be sprawled, which may account for the overlap.

Romy's paws and my large human hand. Maine Coons outdo in cat paw contests.

Unbidden, a line from one of the Firesign Theater's productions came to mind, "The body of a lion, the paws (pause) that refreshes, ..."

Cats are quantum creatures and corrugated cardboard boxes are strange attractors. A dog would never have stood still for Schroedinger's thought experiment. A cat, on the other hand, would likely have hopped into the box while Schroedinger wasn't paying attention, curled up and slept through it.

Thewol has given us the answer never before solved to the mystery of Schroedinger's cat. The cat is neither alive nor dead. She is sleeping!!
