Boxed Mittens

Mittens has never lost her kitten like obsession with boxes. Recently I got a full bike sized box which contained a frame I had shipped from the USA. Mittens had been curious about the box but I didn't think she would be able to jump high enough to get into it.


Well I guess I was wrong. She must be a brave kitty to jump into a box without being able to see what is inside. I wondered how she would get out so I waited with the camera ready. She spent at least 10 minutes just sitting in the box. I think Frou prowling around on the other side of the cardboard was disturbing her though.


Like the action shot?

She leapt for the opening, held on to the edge and kind of scrambled out. I think I will find her in the box in future, until I get rid of it anyway. It is a pity she doesn't like her 'carry box' so much that we use to take her to the vet! ;)

Happy cat and her box.
My Twinkie is 17 years old and still obsessed with boxes. Cracks me up.
Cats and boxes. Without them the internet and YouTube would be a terribly boring place.
Mittens is too cute! I agree with the commenter above. If not for cats and boxes, I would have to find some other way to waste my time online. ;-)

It is odd to me too, and inconvenient, that cats only seem to enjoy cardboard boxes and not the plastic ones we use to take them places. It's a shame.

Those cats and boxes. When we had our cat Dylan, he would try to squeeze into a box 2 inches square if he could! I could watch them playing with a box all day.

My cat Chica loves boxes also. I find the ability to wait such an endearing quality that cats have!
Bravo brave Mittens! Whoever said 'look before you leap' had no sense of adventure eh? ;) Great action shot your Mom got! :)

Waggin at ya,
