    Better than a box

    Olive loves boxes, but she loves paperbags even more. She slipped into this one before I could take it to the trash. Afterwards, she was covered in paperdust, since it had Yesterday's News litter in it:

    Oh Olive, you cutie! Even when covered in paperdust!

    I had friends with a cat named Salem who adored paper bags so much that, every weeks when they did their grocery shopping, they would get all paper bags and set tem all up, when emptied, in a sort of course on the kitchen floor and she'd leap from one to the next with glee!

    Kuhio used to do that and scatter them all over. Sometimes we leave all our Christmas wrapping lying around on the floor after opening presents. Kitties love to hide under them and pounce on each other.

    Olive you are gorgeous!
    Ask your vet about microchipping. ~ It could have saved Kuhio's life.

    She is such a cutie pie! In the first picture she says, "this is mine!"

    Always the box

    I would get a delivery of a box my cat wanted me to take the stuff out of the box so he could jump in and sleep.

    Why would anybody spend money on a catbed? Says the cat mom who has kitty beds (and boxes) all over the house.

    Olive is such a lovely kitty, and the colorful cat bed sets off Willa's fur!

    Better Than A Box

    Nothing is better than a box. My cats were excited when the UPS man came they wanted that stuff you have in their box out of the way. After all whats better than a box a box with tissue paper in it.

    And there's a new one, a "cat box"
    Naturally, Olive was the first one to test it, followed by Clover.
