Cats our Intriguing Independent Companions

You bought your cat an expensive luxury cat basket, but what does it prefer? you're right it prefers that cardboard box from the grocery store! Do they love boxes because they are the same size as them, or because there are no drafts or is it just another example of the odd and mysterious nature that we will never entirely understand.

What is clear is that cats are not claustrophobic and are quite happy to squeeze into the smallest space. They are quite fearless which often leads them into danger when they find warmth in ovens and washing machines.

Music: Arabesque No. 2 by Debussy Update: Sorry I had to swap the audio around with youtube's premade music. I never had Spoon's permission to use the music and so I took it down. Awareness: CHEETAHS - Running Out of Time! Namibia is one of the last refuges of the remaining world Cheetah population. A quarter of all the remaining cats are found in Nambia. It is estimated their numbers globally have declined by over 90% in the last 100 years. A local thorn bush species is invading the savannah in the country, causing over US$90 million each year in lost revenue to Namibian farmers, whilst also destroying the native habitat of the fastest of the cats. Now the Cheetah Conservation Fund has pioneered a scheme to clear the thorn bush and turn it into cheap fuel briquettes. The project is creating jobs at the same time as helping to restore the hunting ground of the endangered cheetah. Vote for the Cheetah Conservation Fund "No Beating About The Bush" at: http://www.theworldchallenge.co.uk/vote.php Voting ends 13th November 2009, you can vote once per e-mail address - remember a vote for the CCF is a vote for the CHEETAH!

But this kitten took over. :p The kitten is not stuck...it might do your heart some good to see my other vid of them getting out of the box. It's a simple thin cardboard box. Thin enough that they eventually tore it apart. The kittens wanted to get in because they want to play with the tissue inside....notice the tissues thrown everywhere? When he pushes his head in he's trying to bite the tissue inside....very expensive lab equipment, I wouldn't put them in there on purpose. But the moment was priceless.

The sun did not shine.
It was too wet to play.
So we sat in the house
All that cold, cold, wet day

Is this why Cats like Small Boxes? 

Wild and domestic cats like to lie in heaps for warmth and for intimacy. Cats seem to have a need to be stroked which is just a little way behind their need to feed!

When cats squeeze into a box is this a reminder of their life as a kitten?

These are Suki's kittens fathered by a local cat we didn't approve of but nothing to do it was love at first sight.

Cats What are They Thinking? 

Who is the Pet? You or your Cat?

What are they thinking when they stare at us for minutes on end?

Our relationship with our cats is based on equality but we are never quite sure however if it isn't the cat who is really master. Is that what they are thinking when they stare at us, mug don't you realize that I'm the boss!

Sequel is also up. Don't miss it! This is not a trick that was taught to Nora. She began sitting at the piano at about one-year-old. She's four now. She plays only when the mood strikes her, which is usually several time a times a day for short periods. © 2007/2008 Yow!/Alexander, Nora The Piano Cat,LLC
