into.
Wonder why. Our slim cats, btw, don't much care about shoeboxes.

Oh, gee, so other people's cats do this too. The smaller the box, the harder
Frank tries to get into it. He can cram himself into anything, ignoring the
parts that hang out, and go to sleep. I've posted this before, but it's a
classic example, and slept in this box for days.

Thanks for sharing that. ;-)
What a pretty boy!

It is a cat rule that NO box shall go unoccupied for less than 5
minutes, no matter how small it is.

I do a lot of ebay, and get a lot of "help" from the kitties when
packing boxes, and have to be cautious not to pack a cat!

It is hilarious to see them stuff themselves into boxes _way_ too small
for them.

Okay, out of sheer curiosity, I got out a shoebox & left it (open) in plain
sight. Neither cat has paid the least bit of attention to it, nevermind
curling up in it - or trying to. Otoh, if I put out a large box (which I
have done for years), they are always immediately drawn to it, & spend
plenty of time lounging &or playing in it.

Oh, you got me. Yeah, that was me. As an update, Frank has
recently been repotted in the flower bed next to the catnip and is
simply flourishing.

Would you eat from plastic forks that were not wrapped in some way? Even
at fast-food restaurants, they wrap the plastic cutlery.

Well, I work near a hospital and usually get lunch at the hospital
cafeteria. The plastic cutlery in that cafe is not wrapped.

(Of course, the hospital specialises in plastic-related deaths, so
maybe that's the reason - keeps the plastic surgeons [wahey!] in a
job).


(...)

If any of those items were sitting on the floor of the grocery store's
back room, would you put it in your mouth?

I would put them all in my mouth at once. I would then walk backwards
making beeping noises, in an attempt to mimic a garbage disposal
truck.
