We have one of those cardboard scratch-pads and the cardboard shrapnel kind of takes over the room. Fortunately they don’t chew on cardboard that often. ---

When our daughter was still living at home, we had to keep a shoebox in the living room, under the stereo cabinet. If we didn’t, Achilles (one of her cats) was most unhappy, and would sulk until we put another box under that cabinet. I’m pretty sure that my daughter keeps a shoebox around in her apartment, just so Achilles won’t sulk. ---

It’s hilarious. By the way, the thread was originally called just Cats in Boxes and I requested that it be changed to Cats in Boxes (pictures of!) and ended up with Pictures of Cats in Boxes which isn’t quite as snazzy as I’d hoped 😕 ---

The obsession began when she was only [4 weeks old.](http://www.flickr.com/photos/kathysq/3215585837/) When she hears the UPS truck, she runs to the door and demands the box be opened and emptied of it’s contents. If I’m not fast enough, she tries to do it herself.

Posting to subscribe and remind me to upload my pics. I shop at a warehouse club on occasion and one time I brought stuff home in a box with high sides and back but a low front. Within seconds of unloading tge box the cats were fighting over it. The box was never without a cat. So I pick up a new one of the boxes everytime I go to the club. I have several now, the boxes were for huge bags of whey protein and they come in chocolate and vanilla. I have two boxes on a table side by side and I managed to get some pics of my mostly white cat in the vanilla box and a black cat in the chocolate. In another pic the brownish tortie was in the chocolate box. ---

[Feather in a box.](http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s142/featherlou/HPIM2203.jpg) I should get a picture of her in the laundry basket, too - she jumps in it the second it’s empty, then wants to get picked up and swung around in it. It’s her version of a carnival ride. ---

We have my wife’s family’s Scrabble game from her childhood. They played often, and whenever they did, the much-beloved family cat would come out and sit in the inverted box lid, witnessing hundreds of games of Scrabble over the years. The cat is long since gone now, but the first time we brought the game out after moving it to our house, our sweet little kitty promptly came out and sat in the inverted box lid, silently watching our game (my wife won). My wife was incredibly touched. 🙂 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/pictures-of-cats-in-boxes-edited-thread-title/576689.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/pictures-of-cats-in-boxes-edited-thread-title/576689.md?page=3)
