Cats in boxes
 

One of the great constants of life. You set a box down and in a cat goes. Every. Single. Time.

Feel free to add your own pics of your feline weirdos! I would love to see them :cat:

(no longer with me) Jack-in-the-box :)

Current kitty Mahina hasn't been very interested in boxes, which seems odd, as she loves the pop-up kitty cubes :dunno:

What if you painted the cardboard cat carrier for visiting the vet so it looked like a regular brown box?

Here's my (now deceased) Jack in the box.

Fun topic! Beautiful cats, everyone!

Funnily enough my mother's 2 cats are scared to death of boxes! They eye them warily then then go find a pile of clean laundry to sleep on.

Wonderful fotos folks. This is the first time in my 60+ yrs I've been petless,having recently had to let go of my senior cat. But such fun to admire all of yours. They're beautiful and good for the soul.

Glad we could help! Here's a picture of Nathan outside the box.

I don't have any boxes.:biggrin:

A paper bag will work.

That's so they can kick the sides out!

Cute pictures!

But eventually the sides give out.

I take private Dutch lessons directly at the teacher's home, and her cat, named Bear, loves small boxes. To the point that she permanently keeps a shoe box on the windowsill, and every week I find Bear crammed in that tiny box. The box hasn't exploded yet! Sometimes I think that cats are solids which can also behave like liquids, she pretty much folds herself into a box shape and then 'melts' to fit the box exactly...

We have 2 cats, neither one seems interested in boxes, however, one will sleep in a 10-gallon fish tank (without water of course!)

So funny. I don't have any cats.

Oh these pictures are cute!

Funny.. I tried using the regular cat carrier, which they love to sleep in but act like I am trying to skin them alive if i close the door on it... so I gave up and got a cardboard $10 pet carrier to use for the vet and they love it. Cats are strange

I have got a cat and he loves boxes. It doesn't matter that the box is too small..Smaller = better! Unfortunately, I haven't got any photos to post here but my cat always makes my laugh while laying in the box!

We have 2 black cats, Hunter and Dexter, whose names have evolved into Tubby Hunter and Dexter Doodle.
Tubby is a lap cat whose greatest problem is that as he gets fatter, our laps get smaller.
Doodle, on the other hand, is the cat who will die by misadventure, curiosity killed the cat at work.

So, I had been looking for some old bills and receipts.
I had laid my "to be filed" out box on the floor.
As soon as Doodle saw it it was his.

Doodle thought he was in the in-box.
Actually he was in the out-box.

Your Doodle sounds like my Meatloaf (my black kitty). She is as mischievous and curious as the come and cracks me up. It’s almost like she has never outgrown the kitten stage. Darla is much more quiet, dignified, and elegant, a real lady, and looks at poor Meatloaf like she done lost her damn mind on a daily basis :lol:

A pic of the both of them on top of a box that I had but on my sofa for 0.2 seconds before they commandeered it. And also Darla in an Andy’s Orchids shipping box that she found to be very comfortable.

:biggrin: Orchids arriving in boxes are always a happy event but cats know these can be recycled along with the pnuts. This put a big smile on my face...TY! My Lola doesn't do much of anything with a box except be nosy and decides not to waste her time. Off to the window...! BTW,that first foto looks like the yin/yang symbol? Cute.

My ragdoll enjoys her new square type cat beds on sale that I got online.

This may not qualify as a box, but... here is my lil weirdo Dante sitting in a cake tin! :biggrin:

Close enough and quite pleased with himself.

He always is that pleased with himself when doing things he knows very well that he shouldn't be doing ;)

I could get myself in Sooo much trouble here... Here's Nathan, he's into leather.

Haha nicely phrased! ;) He is a beauty!

Hahaha, of course! Quite right :biggrin:

I was afraid this was going to be some modern Schrodinger discussion....

So glad it was this.
I e had many many cats in my life and none at the moment. Just three dogs... while I don’t miss the litter, I do miss the silliness and mega snuggles

Catnip... ‘nuff said

Hahaha!! And aren’t they all


Nathan is so gorgeous and knows what he likes;)

:rofl: :rofl:
well, cats are quite the paradox on their own aren’t they:lol:

This. They are such hilarious and bizarre little creatures but, oh Lordy, when one curls up on you with it’s motor running you’re stuck. I don’t care what I was supposed to be doing. I have a purring cat on my lap or shoulder and I ain’t moving for anything. It took a while for my husband to get used to them and their antics but now he refers to them as “the Ladies” and I recently came home to both cats wearing faux pearl cat necklaces that he thought they needed...

And yes, the cat nip. I always keep some on hand
