And here’re a few photos from a few weeks back of Buttons. He’s one of those cats who loves cardboard boxes.

cute..you should buy or build a cat condo like apartment structure
for them…I’m sure they would like it…especially Buttons.
I used to have a cat that loved to play in paper bags. I buried him in one after the stupid bastard got himself hit by a car. Seemed fitting at the time.
Poor cat.
If you have older autos and cats in colder areas of the country, don’t forget to tap the hood and do some impartial cranks otherwise you cut the little thing’s heads off.
As far as the picture, it needs the caption:
“I buy a nice Nexus model kit and all he wants to do is play with the box.”
Tape the box shut when he’s in it sometime and see how he reacts to that. 🙂
Yeah, there was a cat around here that liked to sleep atop the warm car engine; they started the motor and the cat jumped straight into the fan belt.
Goodbye Kitty.
Roadie, (our “Road-Kill” cat) is uber-fond of anything “cardboard-ish” and box shaped. Doesn’t actually MATTER if she can’t possibly fit “inside” the box-like object she must TRY to fit!
I had not taken recycling out yet last week and she “discovered” my empty box for my sheet-protectors. I kept hearing a rather odd bumping and scraping sound from that direction and finally went to look. She had managed to squeeze her head into the box up to her ears and was busily scooting the box around the kitchen/sun-room looking for a nice place to ‘wedge’ the box and push the REST of herself inside!
Quite disappointed in her “human” when I took the box away and took the recycling outside. She didn’t “forgive” me for a whole, Hmmm, maybe 5 minutes…
(She has got to be the BLONDEST black cat I’ve ever known 🙂 )

No he was great cat. Loyal as only a cat can be. I still miss him.
Considering cats fondness for small encloses spaces, you could build a doozie of a cat pet house with multiple levels and rooms all joined by tunnels and holes between rooms and floors, stick different “cat things” in each room (scratching poss, toys, cat nip, litter box, etc., as well as a little hatch where live mice can be dropped in unexpectedly) and the cat may not come out from inside of it for days.
Transparent windows in it would not only let light into it, but let you see what the cat was doing in there.
The components could be designed to disassemble for easy cleaning and rearrangement to keep the cat from getting bored with the layout (although it might find a stable layout of “its place” comforting).
if there is empty space, a cat fill it up

cool,Pat..it sounds like one of those things(habitrails,I think) that if
you have gerbils or hamsters,but a lot bigger of course and if you
really want to get creative it would be like those playhouses like
they have at Mcdonald’s except with smaller plastic balls.
Another reason they might like small spaces is that they might think that’s exactly the sort of place mice might be hiding in.
