I'm glad my cats aren't that big.

Well, okay, if I could afford it I'd probably have an exotic cat like that, but still! |

bc | Exactly my thoughts. Trying to mimic the moves of a cat or an elephant with a human skeleton and musculature doesn't seem to me to the best way to exercise fine control over forces and motion. It's a bit like trying to cut your steak with the edge of a spoon. And it looked every bit as dumb as it sounds.

of course, humans just can't handle playing with the big cats, which is one of the many reasons why we should just leave'em alone.  |
