Inevitability.

[kiya]

So with clearance to start packing things up again -- which I'd been thwarted from for a while, leaving it as a stray unfinished, aggravating task in the back of my mind -- I open up a box, put it on the dining room table, and start clearing off the top shelf of the bookcase there.

I get distracted by other tasks, go to deal with them, and when returning to work on the box of books, I find this.

I should probably have expected it, really.

Of course you should have expected it, cats are like that. :)

*grins* Wrapping presents with a cat.

Cats!

Cats and boxes have a very special relationship.

*chuckles* I'm remembering helping my mom pack stuff
up as a child, walking into a room that held a very big
box, a cat, and many small boxes (the cat had helped
upack the big box). She sighed and said, "I was going to
wait until you were a bit older to explain, but sometimes
when a cat and a box love each other very much...."

It was a long time before I understood why this was
so funny.

(and congratulations on the resumation of packing)

Hee! My Mitzi-cat was quite fond of hanging out in boxes when we were packing for our move a few months ago. Silly felines...

Oh, oh, that phrasing reminds me:

My Cat Likes to Hide in Boxes! And the corresponding Wikipedia entry.

Childhood memories....

Our cats are like that, too. Particularly Nemrut - there's a particular size of box we now refer to as Nemrut-sized. Your box is large enough I might even expect two cats at once.

The other cat came by and sniff-inspected the whole box arrangement while I was filling a second box (since evicting the cat from that one seemed a bit rude) but did not attempt to establish cohabitation.

Athene is rather happy with the current move. I keep giving her New And Different Boxes, see.

(Mostly, she really likes the window ledge, too.)
