He's not fat, he's . . . fat

Another cat in a box picture:



And just for context and so you can truly see that no, no he doesn't fit in this box at all:


That box is missing part of the side, the part where you see Eddie's body coming out. Kent cut that bit out to put over the power strip he uses for his desk computer and light because Wally has figured out how to turn off the power.

You may think I'm exaggerating that cat's intelligence, but I'm not. He gets bored and will first try to get our attention by pawing at the front of Kent's CPU. If that doesn't work or he doesn't like the results (he's usually looking for a specific toy and we don't always get it right), he's been walking to the back of the CPU where the power strip is on the floor and then turning the power off. Well as you might imagine, that gets him attention right away . . . although I'm pretty sure it's not the kind of attention he's looking for.


And here are a couple of pictures that show how Eddie will try to force Wally off the top perch by way of his size:


The top perch is the smaller of the two perches -- you can see the second perch under Eddie but he doesn't want the bigger, lower perch. He wants the top perch.


Wally looks pretty squished, doesn't he?

When you're bigger, you get more of the top perch.

I suspect they like to feel the sides of the perch, that somehow it makes them feel more secure or hidden or something important to cats that we don't quite understand. Never mind that Eddie fits a lot better on the lower perch (he is a big boy), he prefers the top one.
