    Cassy as stunt pilot

    As some of you know, I seem to have a weird thing for cardboard boxes. No matter the size, it seems I eye them all, muttering, "Now, I just BET that would come in handy some day..." and more often than not drag it home. Which is fine, except that they tend to pile up until that 'someday' happens.

    Tonight I was happily typing away here in Pet Talk and heard this incredible crash-boom-bang! sound from the corner where the boxes are. I'm staring at it stupidly wondering what happened to my pile (?!?). Suddenly from the innermost box (only an inch or two of clearance, I swear) I hear muttered cat curses and my beloved Cassy sloooowly extricates himself. He then climbs across, then around the pile, and looks at me as if to say, "That was FUN! Can I do it again, Meowmy?"
    I'm sometimes asked "Why do you spend so much of your time and money talking about kindness to animals when there is so much cruelty to men?" I answer: "I am working at the roots." -George T. Angell, reformer (1823-1909)



    Thank you, Popcornbird for creating this tribute to Summer starring Livvy and Cassy

    Pauline, sometimes words are better than pictures! No picture could possibly do justice to the look on Cassy's face after crashing the boxes!!! Don't you just love it when they do something like that and then act like "what happened"!!!!

    Thanks for the cute story and mental picture!!!!

    Amberlee....perhaps we could start a Cardboard Boxes Anonymous? I have this same fetish -- and fortunately a closet in the basement where I can store them. But I always have "just the right size" box.

    Did Cassy give you the..."I meant to do that and oh...I need to clean my body right this second'?????"

    Boxes and kitties -- sooooo fun!

    That's so funny, Amberlee! I can just see it as everything is nice and quiet and all of a sudden a big crash....bet he made you jump! And the silly kitty enjoyed it! But of course, that's because he meant to do it. If it had happened because of something you did - like accidentally pulled the wrong box not knowing he was in another one, and the whole thing came crashing down, well, then you know he would have walked away in a huff wondering why you're trying to kill him like that!

    Silly kitties, you gotta love 'em.

    Ahh cats and boxes. They go together like dogs and trucks!
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

    My name is Cataholic, and I am a box collector....when is the first meeting? Like ES, I have a room in my basement....and last month I tore down a significant amount of them and put them out for trash. A neighbor asked me if I had just moved in, there were so many!!! (Neighbor was kidding, she knew me).

    As to cats and boxes, well, like said above, there is a kismet connection.

    I am having a good laugh to myself thinking about Cassy!

    I am moving house in two weeks, and because I am working two jobs, I have started packing boxes whenever I have a spare minute.

    Ally thinks she is in HEAVEN - there are piles of boxes and "stuff" all over the house (although it is making it difficult to find her - she now has fifty or so extra hiding places - so I have to walk from room to room waving a piece of ham around until the smell gets too much and she HAS to come out) Ally LUUUUUVS ham more than anything!

    Thanks Kay for my great sig & avatar!!!

    Forgot to ask - will Cardboard Boxes Anonymous also cater for hoarders of "packing peanuts"; bubble wrap and wrapping paper?
