Cagey Cat

Why do cats like to hide in boxes? The answer to this much-discussed question comes down to two words: confinement and concealment. Cats are naturally drawn to spaces that duplicate the sheltering embrace of kittenhood, while also hiding them from threats such as wolves and vacuum cleaners. However, not all cats understand this.

    Kitty doesn’t look entirely pleased with this den. And yet there she remains.

    Kitty is clever.
    She knows full well that this is the deep freeze basket that people fill with beef roasts and things before putting it in the freezer. Kitty is waiting for the first chunk of meat to be placed, and then she will grab it and run away with it.
    Very cagey indeed.

      You could call it a steak-out.

    Kitty is obviously struggling to understand the nature of his relationship with boxes.

      I can totally understand kitty’s point of view. I was born in a bed, I sleep in a bed, I read in a bed and where would I like to get back to all day? Into my beloved comfy bed.
      G’night!

        No trouble understanding or reconciling here.
        Beds are good.
        Maybe kitty needs to get out of the cage/off the table, and into bed with me.
