Does your cat follow the “if I fits, I sits” rule?

Mine doesn’t. I have several boxes at the moment thanks to my online shopping addiction amazon, and yet Toots has shown no interest what so ever in sitting in them.

She would much rather lay in the windowsill, on the floor or sprawled on my bed

Yes. Haribo inspecting my recently build dollhouse beach hut.

My cat must be broke then.

A box gets scoffed at.

Few months back when queueing outside Tesco was a thing I saw a very funny picture. Staff had marked circles with a pen or chalk or sonething on the ground 2 m apart for people to queue. And there were 3 cats randomly sitting in some of the queue spots.

I have heard that you can draw a shape on the floor and cats would sit in it.

My cats won't sit in anything. Boring.

Including a picture of someone putting a box in a leopard(?) enclosure and that sitting in the box Grin

On a box rather than in one.

@TroysMammy

Off topic - but your beach hut (kennel?) is brilliant Grin.

Vinorosso74 · 02/09/2020 08:49

No. Ours is faulty.

Toddlerteaplease · 02/09/2020 08:52

Glad it's not just mine. Snorg has never sat in a box and Cheddar isn't that bothered either. I've left one out for them and she got in it for two minutes and has since ignored it.

Our cats take every opportunity to commandeer boxes and carrier bags.

No. They did a bit when they were younger but not since they hit middle age, which is quite a while ago now.

OrlandointheWilderness · 02/09/2020 09:10

Yes. Yes she does!

Yes! Freda in particular loves boxes and bags. Occasionally Gilbert tries to fit in with her!

Wbeezer · 02/09/2020 09:20

This doesn't really count cos its designed for lying on:

The beach hut cat has made my morning.

My brother had to rescue the neighbours kitten from our bird table recently. It got in there fine. Getting down was another matter!
