Recently I gave the cats a nice box that they liked to play in and then I took it away because we had to ship something and it was just the right size. I felt bad about it so when I came across another box at work I grabbed it.
I decided to make this one better than the last so I taped the top closed and cut two openings; one on the front and one on the side. I then cut a few peep holes in it so the box could feel like a little fort with spy holes to watch the “enemy.”
I named it “Fort Box” and the cats took to it right away, especially Colonel Chris who took over command of the fort.
I hereby assume command of Fort Box.
I know you’re there Frankie
Okay, Puck. Your turn to stand guard.
It’s scary in here. I’m shaking.
Puck! You’re supposed to be inside the fort.
Like this. I’ll show you.
I wonder if there is an attic?
I can see you guys so don’t try anything.
You can have your turn Frankie, when I am done lying here doing nothing.
Finally! What’s this?
Yuck! Tastes like cardboard.
C’mon Frankie! It’s my turn again.
Where did you go Frankie? I was just kidding. You can come back. I’ll share.

That is a great box with lots of peepholes.
Thanks. They really seem to like it.

Wow. I’d like to see that.
It’s amazing what pleasure we can take from such small things. Mom has saved some very large boxes to make us a fort on the Catio, but she hasn’t done it. We aren’t holding our breaths. You all look like you had a great time, and your dad took some really terrific photos. XO, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
Tell mom to hurry up. You have needs. 🙂
My human has box cutters! She needs to make some use of them.
I totally agree.
I think boxes are magic for cats. This trick always seems to work, give them a box and they are busy 🙂
So true. So very true. 🙂
