Yup, you heard correctly – today is International Box Day, the day where we celebrate, uh, boxes. I guess Puddy is more excited about this than I am, since she uses boxes more than me. I don’t know what it is about cats and boxes, but as soon as there’s one on the floor, Puddy is over at it, sniffing inside and trying to squeeze in.

To celebrate the day, here is an old photo of Puddy in a shoe box.

She slowly chewed the box up until I couldn’t take it anymore – there were bits of cardboard all over the floor and I had to constantly sweep them up. I finally threw the box in the bin. I swear she didn’t even notice it was gone, even though she had lived in it for the past three days.

You may be seeing a lot of photos today of cats in boxes. It is rather strange. I didn’t know about International Box Day until I found it on the Cat Blogosphere. I guess it would make sense that they would be the first to know, since it’s all about cats there.  I wonder how dogs feel about boxes? Do they also sleep in them, sniff them and chew on them? I think maybe cats feel safer in there. Puddy seems to enjoy boxes more than the toys we buy for her, so we don’t buy her anything these days, except maybe the little toy mousies because I know she likes those.

Have a great weekend everybody!
