Get out of the box!!

[katerkat]

Tycho's driving me nuts. I'm packing and he wants in all the boxes. He toppled the pile in the middle of the night, trying to get into them. And he doesn't just try to get into them - he's trying to burrow into them.

FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE, CAT, I'M NOT GOING TO FORGET TO PACK YOU!!

Poor kitty... We think he was dumped by his family during a move, because we adopted him as an older cat, who was a stray for at least two months (according to the guy who brought him in), but he's too friendly to be a "real" stray.

I just don't know how to get it through his thick skull that after moving him from Northern Virginia, to southern Virginia, to Mississippi, and to Oklahoma, that we're not just going to leave him this time. You'd think after four moves he'd figure it out.

Katerkat, your post made me smile. You just painted a wonderful visual of your kitty!

Sounds like Tycho needs a box of his own.

Good luck with the move.

Hugs to Tycho! Sounds like he's having a lot of fun with those boxes though!

That could be possibly it...that something such as being abandoned by this previous family during a move happened. My grandmother's cat did a similar thing like that when she was moving.

My cat likes boxes too. And bags. And newspaper. And bubble wrap...

Poor kitty sould like he just wants to make sure you don't forget him. Maybe you could give him an empty box to play in.

Yeah -- give him an empty box to play in, and talk to him a lot reminding him that you won't forget him.

 

[katerkat]

We don't have any empty boxes! *I* need all of them!

Luckily, right now, he's sleeping with his brother, who has a much calmer attitude about this move thing. Let's hope it rubs off before Friday!

So when he wakes, put down some wrapping paper, and pretend you are going to wrap a gift. Or get out a pattern to cut. Or put the newspaper out to read it. All guarenteed to get my cat's attention and keep her busy!
