Are you a:

Carnivorous slobbius, Eatius birdius, Overconfidentii vulgaris, Poor schinookius or Caninus nervous rex?

Would it be better to be a:

Accelerati incredibilus, Velocitus tremenjus, Birdibus zippibus, or Speedipus rex?

Are there additional possibilities?

This should be combined.
If I "fluffius cuteius littlius squirrellius ", someone will eat me. Or die of boredom.
If I'm "angrius wildius cat-eatibus anythingus", then I'll eat those around. All run away! Although, maybe it's more fun.
Here it is, the success of life.

Along with character, looks do count @Larisa . It's kind of a vulgar amalgamation in all creatures, @Smart Red. Looks good in a suit, @Nyboy .

The cat is something of a mystery. It has too many lives, perhaps. A vicious predator, it is conjectured that it would kill and eat its human companions, if there wasn't such a size difference.

However ... only the very smallest of adult cats weigh less than 5 pounds (2.3 kg). And yet, the predatory Great Horned Owl is smaller, seldom reaching that weigh. Cats usually weigh 9 or 10 pounds.

I have heard the stories too often not to believe them. A friend opened the door one morning and her cat walked out on the deck and sat down. An owl swooped in, grabbed the cat and carried it off, disappearing behind the barn. It was the last she saw of her cat ...

Owl, of the Hundred Acre Woods (home also to Winnie the Pooh), was thought to be very intelligent. He was always ready to give advice. He was known as Owl in the books but understood himself to be a "Wol." I'm not sure why the correction was never made by Mr. A. A. Milne. Perhaps, he just never found the time.

Personally, I've discovered something about myself, that is related, anyway to my digital self. When I set my mind on a problem and my digitS' on correcting it -- I have about a 40% chance of success, the first time out the gate. My second attempt is usually met with about a 60% success rate.

One naively might think that this would lead to fixing the problem 100% of the time. Of course, this isn't how higher math works.

No, I'm often back with a third attempt, even a .. .. forth try! These are less likely to achieve anything. My guess is a third try works about 20% of the time and it's downhill from there!

Sometimes, I wish I could simply race through a hands-free existence and that any sort of engineered solutions were unnecessary.

Steve ... your story of your friend's cat being carried off by an owl... My wife and I were sitting on our neighbors' second floor deck enjoying some adult beverages , their cat was sitting on the railing when a barn owl swooped down and carried off the cat who was squirming vigorously and screaming bloody murder until the owl flew into their very large century old barn where the barn owl had it's nest. The cat noises stopped and the juvenile owlets started to noisily beg. We never saw the cat again.
