My Cat and His Cardboard Box

Motley Crue

So the other day I went to throw some rubbish out, and put a bit of the Junk in a carboard box, which for one reason or another I left in the living room - my favourite episode of Different Strokes was on, you know the one where.... - anyway, this box got left in the corner and my cat has now decided to call it home.

He sits on the box, sleeps on it, and even hisses if you try and move him off it. It's a normal cardboard box, filled with rubbish, and it's a better space for him then the landing, the window, that heated patch on the floor where the pipes meet and even the couch...what's going on!

Your cat is gay.

Cats like boxes. I remember couldnt get the cat out of an empty beer box, seemed to love it so we left him with it

SeekUp

Same here -- whenever something comes in a box, we leave it on the floor for a few days, because she absolutely loves it. I think she just loves exploring and getting into cozy spaces.

She also LOVES plastic bags, although that might just be the noise it makes when she sits on it . . . she's a weirdo.

My name is URL

Kill him with poison and become a famous theoretical physicist.. be sure to look the other way though, to avoid any paraboxes

The box! The box!

I had that before wih one of my cats too, they just seem to like cardboard to sleep on. I'm sure I read somewhere once that cardboard attracts fleas away so that might be something to do with it as well

yep, they like paper bags. I shared a house with a woman a few years back and she had a cat that loved large paper shopping bags. He loved sleeping in them, and rolling around in them. So we used to save our paper bags when we went shopping. However the cat was choosy, on a couple of occasions when we gave him Penneys or Dunnes bags he'd get the handle around his leg and run up and down the stairs with it continually until he had shredded it. Brown Thomas bags were his favourite, along with the glossier type bags from Next, River Island etc.

Put the cat into the box. Put the box into the car. Drive the car around the world.

Then come back & have anal sex with Ronan Keating.

Really, I'd have thought it would have been easy for AH regulars to make a joke about a pussy and a box, that s**t practically writes itself.

And here was me thinking they only used cardboard to soak up the piss

Cats seem to fupping LOVE cardboard boxes. There was one just discarded on the "roof" of my cat's kennel years ago and the cat would sleep in the cardboard box, even when it was raining, rather then go into the kennel underneath.

Ditto a bunch of plastic bags outside the door for a while - the cat loved curling up and going to sleep on them.

They're funny fookers.

cats like to either be up high and looking down on the ground
or hidden and looking out .

makes them feel in control of the surrounding area.

mine sleeps on top of a large drum case ,

and loves any sort of bag or box we bring home .

My parents cat will automatically walk into a cardboard box or an open paper bag if its dropped on the ground. He'l just sit in it looking out at everyone to as if to say; this is my bag, fcuk you, you degenerate.

He also likes chicken curry, cheese popcorn & he farts in his sleep. Seriously. He let rip a howler of a fart in his sleep in the sitting room one day & we all laughed for about a minute. Stinkin little bastard.

Dudess

Oh I had a female cat who was capable of air contamination for which an oxygen mask wouldn't have seemed too extreme...

starbelgrade

Cat farts are rank.

And what is it with cats & curry? They feckin love the stuff.

ArseLtd

Have you considered kicking the **** out of the cat?

Curry-eating, farting cats... ah, I've heard it all now!

Yeah our cat basically goes nuts if someone brings a curry into the house. Even if he's not in the house he'l be at the door within seconds to get his share of curry?
And not just the chicken, he's mad about the sauce. He'l slurp away on the lid of a curry carton for an hour. Must be the msg or something?

Thats probably whats causing the eye-watering bottom burps.

starbelgrade

I don't think it's the msg - I nver get take away, but I make curry sauce & my cat goes mental when he smells it. He also loves cheese & butter.

Doc

The parents bought a pink fluffy cat bed for my cat.
Will the little cow go near it? Not a chance!
If we try to put her in it she acts like we're trying to drown her.
20 quid down the drain!

Yep, fuk all that soft, warm, cosy luxuriousness when there's a nice, slightly damp cardboard box that can be availed of.

Cats are stubborn, the fecker is dying to go in that cat bed, just refuses to coz it knows you're trying to force it. We got a cat hut for our cat, same thing, she refused to go near it, I got them all to stop shoving her over to it and just left it there, the cat loved it after she chose to go in it herself

I don't know, we had it in the living room for several months and she wouldn't go near it. It's out in the shed now.
I think she prefers someone's knee.
