Abstract
Whatever you may think about cats, there is no denying that they are beautifully designed. No, I do not mean their attractive appearances and charming personalities. I mean their design features which allow them to catch mice. The cat, of course, is an expert in the strategy of the hunt. She lies in wait, preferably in a spot where she is not too conspicuous. Then she stalks her prey, slinking along ever so quietly. Finally she winds up for a mighty spring through the air with a precise landing spot...right where the unsuspecting victim hesitates. The viola! Here she comes to show the victim to you. Naturally you are very impressed with this cat's achievement. If her strategy were not perfect, there would be no victim since mice are notoriously cautious.
