Our old Fort Box was no longer being used. I think our cats like things that are new and get bored after a while. With that in mind, I threw out the old box and enacted a short waiting period before bringing in a new one.

I actually had this box in the shed for months waiting for the right time. It is the heaviest duty box they have ever had so it should do well protecting the occupant from invaders. I also left the doors attached to reduce the chance of an attack from the side. And as usual, I cut small peepholes all around so the occupant can see if anyone is approaching.
All three cats were interested at first but Frankie’s interest was mere curiosity. Surprisingly, Floki seemed even more interested than Chris, at least at first, but they both spent time making sure their scent was on the box before Floki ventured inside.
I was surprised that Chris did not take over the box from the start but after Floki’s short inspection Chris took over possession for a good part of the afternoon.
This was six days ago and I still see Chris in the box from time to time. I have not seen Floki in it since the first time but we have found his mouse in the box on at least two occasions. I don’t think the mouse went in there on its own.
that’s to cute!! I love it and I wish we could buy something with a big fort box for the two… well a new fridge would be not bad, a big box and something what has good temperatures LOL
I think you should buy a new fridge just for the box. π
It looks very comfy and safe!
Love and licks,

Thanks, Cupcake.

We have to rotate boxes at our house too. We will sleep in them for the first week or two and then they are just that, boxes
I guess it’s like people who like to buy things but don’t necessarily like to own things.
Box forts are so much fun! Simon eats ours, well, pulls it apart with his teeth!
Chris and Frankie like to dig at the box from the inside.
This new box seems to be really interesting, and the Floki and Chris like it, so it is a good Gort Box.
I sure is a good distraction for them.
Yeah, I bet Floki’s playing with it when you’re not looking!
Maybe he goes in there at night.
That looks like a sturdy box alright – it OUGHT to last a while!
Hugs, Pam
I’m sure it will still be standing when they get bored with it. π
That’s a great box fort.
Thanks.
That is a cool fort.
Thanks. It’s cool for now but next week . . . Who knows?
Sometimes we have so many boxes for our cats, our house looks like a warehouse. π My cats don’t get bored like yours do, but I throw away the ones they’ve already mutilated, which doesn’t take very long. π
It sounds like you have lucky cats.
Our youngest cat, a year old now, doesnβt really like boxes. We are mystified. Our senior cat, however, likes a good box sit. I donβt know if the senior cat scent-marks the box and the young one wonβt trespass or if there is something else going on. Who knows?
I have heard from other people who say they’re cats don’t like boxes either. I think most cats like boxes but every cat is different.
Gracie checked out a box once, but didnβt stay, so maybe sheβll get more interested as time goes on.
Maybe. You never know.
Frankie doesn’t like boxes?
He does like boxes but not enough to fight over it.
