Cat Forum / General Topics / March 2004Cats and boxes
My wife got a new pair of shoes at the weekend, and as usual her cat Gizmo went and tried to sit in the box the shoes came in. Not only did it manage to get in (small box, big cat :-) but promptly fell asleep in it. Next day of course the box was ignored. Why do they always get into boxes and baskets ? Anybody else see behaviour like this ? Astrog >My wife got a new pair of shoes at the weekend, and as usual her cat >Gizmo went and tried to sit in the box the shoes came in.

Nice, soft, fluffy cat beds, they ignore. Sherry Ah the mystery of the feline mind think!! My middle cat loves stuffin herself into boxes as well. She gets this look of "Im hot stuff. Im perfect" >>My wife got a new pair of shoes at the weekend, and as usual her cat >>Gizmo went and tried to sit in the box the shoes came in.

It's a wonder I didn't pack him up as well. I get any kind of box in the mail, they are trying to get in it. Now I've got two young ones who are always investigating things - boxes, bags. Tiny Shorty is the ring leader, Tia follows. :) JoJo http://home.comcast.net/~zookeepr/fosters.html > My wife got a new pair of shoes at the weekend, and as usual her cat > Gizmo went and tried to sit in the box the shoes came in.

It's a wonder I didn't pack [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > JoJo > http://home.comcast.net/~zookeepr/fosters.html Yup, sounds familiar, the other thing that happens is that once one of the two has found a box/bag then it becomes a competition to get there before the other one, some famous scratching and spitting battles ensue :-) Boxes, bags, drawers ... mine's the same. I think they do it to max the chances of remaining unseen by passing prey. You should be careful when they do this .... muahahaha. > My wife got a new pair of shoes at the weekend, and as usual her cat > Gizmo went and tried to sit in the box the shoes came in.

Chloe looks exactly the same. And the picture with Chloe and Mia? Chayla would sleep with me just like that.. :::sniffle::: They grow up so fast!! Mar ------------------------------------- "Did you find the gun?" "Yeah.. it was in Buffy's underwear drawer. She has nice things." "Show me."

Not only did [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Astrog Both of my cats try it. My smaller female cat likes to sleep in the boxes that cases of Fancy feast come in. My male cat likes to sleep in shoe boxes or new empty - empty as in no litter - litter boxes that have just been bought.  Signature"There are few things in life more heartwarming than to be welcomed by a cat." - Tay Hohoff My three year old Tiny has figured out how to get the tops off of bankers' boxes. My wife keeps them around to store paper work. Tiny gets her nose in under the lid and then uses her head to push the lid up so she can crawl in. Sometimes the lid falls back down after she is in (all the better, as far as she is concerned!) and the only way we know she is in there is when we hear rustling coming from the box.
