Alaska is doing some introspection as he goes through his "teenage" months. He knows he is a Maine Coon. He knows he is to follow in his father's pawprints and create Maine Coons. But, what defines a Maine Coon? Does it originate from within, or without? Is a Maine Coon decided by the size of his body, the size of his chin and lynx tips, or the size of his heart? Of what consequence is the 10-15 pounds that separates him from "other" cats, compared to the infinite splendor yet dwarfing emptiness of the cosmos? Maybe Maine Coon is simply a box, not the comfy and homey boxes that cats prefer, but the abstract yet rigid definitions humans try and conform all things to, when cats understand that most things are much more complex than the sticker labels humans slap on their strange and controlling boxes of definitions. Does he fit in the box? Is it comfy? Don't humans, in their own way, also like the same material boxes as cats? After all, did they not invent the first box? Do they not make their dens, run really fast, and catch their food, in boxes? What made the first box a box? Why did humans choose this shape? Why do boxes call to human and cat alike? Is the box divine? Who's Solid Snake?
