he supercilious, scheming butler Edgar is the bumbling villain
of "The Aristocats," although he is not entirely unjust in
his thinking. What sense is there in leaving all that money to
a bunch of pampered cats? His major crime is impatience: If only
he were prepared to wait a few years, the money would
be his anyway, and, in the meantime, he would no doubt be comfortably
"employed" by the wealthy Aristocats. Moreover, even
if he had succeeded in dispatching the cats to distant parts,
there would have always been the risk that Madame Bonfamille might
take on another family of cats and change her will again.
