Day 113/365

Give a cat a box, and he'll be happy for hours.  Why is that?  You buy all the latest toys and feathers and furry things and cat things, and spend hundreds of dollars.   Does the cat play with them?  Maybe for a few minutes before losing interest.  Then you get a couple of boxes that are going into the recycling bin, and BANG!  The cat's right in there, and spends hours and  hours in the damn things.  Why is that?  What's the allure of a box to a cat?  There's no catnip involved.  No fuzzy things to bat at.  It's just a box.  And yet, it's a cat's best friend.  How strange....

  1. So true! Although the little fuzzy mice are a close second to the box for my barn cats.
