Three Cats Thursday: Moo's Box Overflow, Phantom's Litterhead & Pimp's Snout Close-Up!

Tweet

Happy Three Cats Thursday, Cuteheads! (Writing that is going to take some getting used to!) Today we have a whole buffet of shenanigans.

First stop, is Moo's newest box. I bought a box that happened to come with a new pair of running shoes in it. Once we got those things out of there, the box was able to be put to use for the reason I clearly got it... for Moo to squish in.

And this was no small effort. As you can see, I may have miscalculated Moo's "shoe size" -- there is just a little bit of overflow...

What? It's comfy to me!

Mom! Maybe I'm a "wide" shoe?

And then we have Phantom. Bless his little heart. He's so special.

When he goes in the litter box, he really makes a big deal out of making sure everything is thoroughly covered. It's an exaggeration, really. I'll stand above him and just say over and over again: "Phantom, that's enough. That's enough, Phantom. You did good, Phantom..." but he insists on continuing to play in the box.

And every single time, he walks out looking like this:

Litterhead. And paws. And tail.

Pimp, in his dear old age, has taken to completely hunting Phantom! I have no idea what started this, but Pimpy literally goes after him with such a determined face and just chases him around with serial-killer determination in his eyes. He's become a crazy old man!

SMOOCH!

But most of the time, this is what he looks like... My sweet bag of bones. <3 comment-3--="" nbsp="">

If It Fits, I Sits: Compilation of Cats Squeezing in Tiny Boxes!

Tweet

We can never have enough videos of cats in boxes, especially when the cats are too small for the boxes! It's amazing how hard our silly kitties will try to squeeze into the darnedest spots.

I think my favorite is the kitty trying to fit in the soda box (Not Maru... you'll know which one when you see it!).


NOTE FROM CUTE: The countdown is on to our super transport weekend! 26 cats going all over the place in one weekend! I can't wait to share and follow them on their journeys with our fabulous Cute Transport Network drivers!

Happy Boxing Day! Here's Maru and More Boxes

Tweet

All these years and Maru still loves his boxes just as much as ever! He also still loves a challenge, as you'll see with the first one. No box will be unconquered!

He's also a very patient big brother...

Big Cats Like Boxes Too!

Tweet

We know housecats love boxes, but what about big cats like lions and tigers and panthers? Do they have the same automatic attraction to boxes?

The fun folks at Big Cat Rescue decide to test it out and see! I'm guessing most of these are refrigerator boxes (can you imagine if you were stuck with one of these huge things in your living room for months?!), and the results is YES! Of course big cats love boxes! They are just regular purring, box-loving felines... only bigger.

Cat Does a Lazy Maru Impression

Tweet

You know the video where Maru flings himself across the floor and into a box, kind of tunneling through? This cat seems to be trying for that, but could definitely use a little more enthusiasm.

Maybe a bit more runway to get better speed? Or, if we really want to get nitty gritty, we could probably blame the humans... someone forgot to cut open the back end of the box!


For reference, here is the original Maru version. It's almost unfair to compare. Maru is a professional.

Fat Cat Struggles to Fit in Tiny Box

Tweet

No box is too small for a cat. Some of them just require a little extra effort, that's all. Especially if you're a bit on the chunky side.

Couple times she thinks she has it (right around :30 is a perfect example!), and gracefully and slowly starts to lower her fuzzy butt down, only to realize that's not quite right. Maybe making a little more space by kicking a paw out? Nah, that's not it either. Persistence pays off though!

Two Cats Tuesday: A Box in Moo's Not-Box and My Two Favorite Kittens from #BlogPaws!

Tweet

Happy Two Cats Tuesday, Cuteheads! Today Moo has breaking news from his not-box... Just when he thought things couldn't get any better, there is now a real box inside his not-box!

I have a box IN my not box! And Pimp is not in my box or my not-box.

You're not taking a picture of us, are you, Mom? We can't be caught doing this...

Moo is seriously so silly about his not-box and his box. He spends tons of time in there. I wonder if we can get rid of either one ever?

Last night, the BF tried to break down the box in side Moo's not-box and I quickly stopped him. What in the world was he thinking?!

Cute kittens!
And now on to the cutest part of the BlogPaws conference... There were kittens! I had to go seek them out a few times a day just to get my kitten fix, of course.

First, meet Odilia. She is from the Tails from the Foster Kittens blog. She is blind and was born with no eyes. But not to worry! She has no idea she is supposed to see, so she is perfect as can be! And adorable. Ridiculously adorable.

Me and Odilia. She was one of the highlights of the conference!

And then there was Triscuit. This little nugget is from the Random Felines blog. She had the round little kitten belly that kittens tend to have, and she was just the sweetest baby! She attended sessions and spent her time walking around on a leash.

Just precious! Way too precious.

Triscuit. I wanted to eat her up.

Two Cats Tuesday: Moo's Fake Box

Tweet

Happy Two Cats Tuesday, Cuteheads! Today Moo has a new box (you know how he loves boxes!). But just between you and me, let's not tell him that this isn't really a box, OK?

This is a mighty fine box!

Wait. Holdonaminute. What are you saying?

This isn't a real box?! What do you mean?

Seems like a box to me!

This is a cardboard square thing that came inside one of those big under-the-bed Rubbermaid boxes. I took it out and just knew Moo would get in it and act like it was a box!

Who cares that it doesn't have a bottom? It's close enough for Moo!

Most Persistent Box Cat Ever!

Tweet

Here is the situation: There is a soda box with a hole in the side. There is a cat who is approximately 10 times (at least!) bigger than the hole.

But this cat really wants to get in that box... and is not going to give up until he succeeds!


P.S. We're off to a great start with Santa Paws Drive! We're three days in, and I'm so excited for the progress so far! If you haven't already, take a look at the six shelters we're collecting donations for -- one was hard-hit by Hurricane Sandy in New York, three others are no-kill, non-profits in the U.S., one is in Hungary and one is in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus!

Cat in a Small Box

Tweet

Like any cat, Hobbes loves boxes. And like any cat, size is not an issue. A box is a box is a box!

And the smaller the box, the bigger the mission (and the more the cat wants to be in the box, apparently). Hobbes is determined.


NOTE FROM CUTE: Thank you all for all the help/suggestions/kind words about my job search. I haven't landed anywhere yet, but I am grateful for all the support and I know the right thing will come along soon!

ANOTHER NOTE: Pimp is doing great on his prescription y/d food so far. He likes it, so that's great. I talked to the vet a little yesterday just to make sure he's eating the right amounts, and he's right on track. And Moo? Well, he's still not really on board with the meal feedings. :)
