Cats in Boxes

Ranked #2,577 in Pets & Animals, #66,699 overall

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.

The Cat in a Hat

This slightly bemused/irritated cat is by Rick

The Cat in a Hat
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!

Cat in a Paper Bag

At least she chose a nice up-market Ralph Lauren Bag!

She made a terrible racket entering this bag and woke us up.
