Well to a cat, a box is a fantasy in the making. You can sit it, you can lay in it, you can hide in it, you can play in it, you can see the world in it, you can stash toys in it and you don't even have to leave the house!
I love boxes, boxes make me feel special. I can sit in a box and make believe that I am queen of the world or least the boss cat in our house.
I think my human must understand the nature of cats and how wonderful boxes make us feel. She goes out of her way to share a box with us whenever a good one comes into the house. It may only be here a day or two, but while it is here we enjoy it.
The best boxes are the ones that come filled with brown kraft paper. You can hide yourself in in the middle of that brown paper where no one can find you. It is also perfect for hiding in before pouncing on your unsuspecting sister when she comes too close to your box.
Christmas was great around our house as new boxes arrived every day from the (cute) UPS guy and from the nice postman that always talks to us. We had so many boxes that we were exhausted from trying to sit and play in them all. Thankfully we are back to one or two boxes a week and life is normal again.
So humans before you throw out that box, think about your kittys and give them their own box to love!
