What did cats ever do with themselves, before cardboard boxes were invented? It is said the first cardboard boxes were ordered by the Babylonian king, Num Ber Pleez, especially for his cats, whose name is not recorded. Several viziers had lost their posts (and their heads), trying to find or invent some toy to keep the cats amused.
Note how the one cat in the video has the human trained to spin and slide the box on command. We know who’s in charge in that household.
As a child, I occasionally would make a “fort” under the dining room table, or hide behind some piece of furniture, I assume because of the sense of being enclosed. Cats seem to seek this zealously.
I always enjoy when I see young folks playing with their pets. There’s something very edifying about seeing young folk pursuing wholesome interests, instead of being caught up in some of the negative behaviors which have become so common in our day.
I know who’s in charge in this household. Gotta go, time to vets have more cat treats. 🙂
