Slow Mo Cat or Great White Shark (3/8/15)

You don't need me to tell you that Emily Dickinson (aka The Slow Mo Cat) is a fearsome hunter. She has proven her predatory prowess time and again and, as we all know, actions speak louder than words. However, her latest feat of athletic sorcery deserves note.

Off the southern coast of Africa, there are great white sharks. But these are no ordinary great white sharks, these great white sharks are known for a certain behavior. Not content to merely gab onto their prey, these virile "death tubes of the deep" come blasting up from below with such force they propel themselves fully out of the water. Grasping a prey item in their gaping maw, these sharks then descends again to the watery depths readying themselves for the next strike.

Recently, The Rainbow Snake got too audacious with its wiggling. Emily, in desperate need of a new tactic to put it back in its proper place unleashed an attack worth of those leaping sharks. As The Rainbow Snake came flying downward across the couch (aka Ektorp) Emily hunched down readying herself to spring. Just as a shark dives into the inky black abyss before speeding upwards towards the light to claim its prey, Emily slung her body low, her every muscle tensing in anticipation. As The Rainbow Snake came within striking range, she unleashed the full fury of her feline frame, blasting her body upwards from her floor-ocean into the couch-air with her hand-talons (claws) and mouth-knives (teeth) on full display. But Emily was not going to leave it there. She had displayed her superiority, but that would be like a great white that grabs its prey, she was in full on JUMP SHARK MODE. So she grabbed The Rainbow Snake and pulled it towards her. The Rainbow Snake manages a Houdini-like escape, but not before it leans the hard way not to mess with Emily.
