Box!Cats

[donnaimmaculata]

Any cat lovers out there who don't watch cuteoverload? Check out this picture. Don't they just look as though they had, y'know, planned it? They've got the little earpiece thingies in their ears, coordinating their positions.

"Calling Ginger the Cat, calling Ginger the Cat"

"Roger, Fluffy. I'm in position. I'm on three, you take one."

"Stripey's on two. Repeat, Stripey's on two."

"Got the area covered."

Or maybe they're playing Schroedinger's cats, in some sort of theatre-of-the-absurd rendition. "Whadda y'mean, you're not sure whether we're dead or not until you open the box? We don't even fit in the box!"

So easy to build a trap for domestic cats. All you need is a box and a... no, that's it. Just a box.

Isn't it just?

When my mother bought a scratching post for her cats - complete with an inviting house-thingie for them to hide in - the cats totally ignored it and went to sit in the cardboard box the post came in instead.

Aww.

My cousin works as a medical representative - her company sends her boxes full of samples and stuff, and they'd all be delivered to our place because she was staying with us for a while. And everytime the boxes were delivered, my cat would be like 'Mine! Mine! Mine!'. And heaven forbid someone *touch* the boxes - she would go *insane*. *grins*

On of my parents' cats loves not just boxes but also wrappings. He gets very excited when new stuff is bought - what with all the sitting-in-boxes and hiding-in-heaps-of-plastic-wrappings that has to be done.

And yet they won't get into those plastic cat-carrier thingies to go to the vet. Clearly, someone needs to market a cat-carrier that looks like a cardboard box.

The cardboard cat-carrier has to be treated like a cardboard box as well: You have to pretend to unpack and unwrap something and then leave the box carelessly on the floor, thus lulling your cat into a false sense of security.

Mind you, this might only serve to put them off cardboard boxes forever.

Cats and boxes, yep. I myself have had a large cardboard box in the middle of the living room for 6 months. Every time I try to throw it away, both cats give me the Big Reproachful Eyes of Woe. I am trying to ween them off it by putting increasing smaller boxes inside the big box. No luck so far; it's AMAZING how small they can scrunch themselves up when they want to.

Oh yes, cats and boxes. Altough mine has a bag&suitcases fetish as well - once he got into my travelling bag and I closed the zipper to see if it would teach him a lesson, but no such luck. He went totally crazy until I let him out... and then he crawled straight back in.

Mine's just the same: an open box, an open suitcase, a bag lying on the floor - and she's got to be inside! Once I almost took her with me on a trainride accidentally. And we took her skiing, in the trunk. Had to return home, of course... ;D
