Somewhere in the quiet darkness, a purring cat was heard…

3 joy 09.23.06 at 4:47 am

Awww, what I Wino.

4 Dara 09.23.06 at 5:07 am

…and then a teeny burp is heard…”cardboard gas.” Pardonnez-moi!

5 y.manynames 09.23.06 at 5:10 am

Tres Cute, and her sagey green eye peepers are beautiful!

6 Andee 09.23.06 at 5:13 am

Is this another Bengal beauty? Whatta face! Whatta belly! What cuteness!

7 warrior rabbit 09.23.06 at 5:14 am

Love the splayed toesies in the second to last shot.

8 ceebs 09.23.06 at 5:16 am

reDONKulously cute!!!

9 Shadow Tiger 09.23.06 at 5:23 am

Is this a Mau? Or an exotic like a Bengal or somesuch?

10 Jordan 09.23.06 at 5:23 am

Adorable!!

11 Anita 09.23.06 at 5:26 am

Cattitude in a Box. Get yours today!

12 Lyds 09.23.06 at 6:05 am

Reminds me of when our kitten discovered the box my husband’s Star Wars Tie Fighter toy came in-it was clear and she seemed fascinated by being able to crawl into an practically invisible box….!

13 Rachel 09.23.06 at 7:14 am

Speaking of cats in boxes…

Please note this is an April Fool’s joke and is not real. ;)

14 elizabeth 09.23.06 at 7:19 am

second to last: note the little fang tooth sticking out into the box.

teehehe.

adorable..

15 Silvertail 09.23.06 at 7:20 am

I guess there is no keeping cats out of boxes…

16 Silvertail 09.23.06 at 7:21 am

I guess there is no keeping cats out of boxes…

17 Kirsty 09.23.06 at 9:18 am

What a pretty little Bengal :)

18 Darcy 09.23.06 at 9:19 am

Isn’t that the first time you’ve used a frawnch accent with a kitteh?

19 Lauri 09.23.06 at 10:30 am

Awwwwwwww! It is always a huge treat to see pics of animals in their natural habitats!

What a schweethart!!!

20 maymee 09.23.06 at 10:53 am

Belly spots! Belly spot alert!

21 Two Sheds Jackson 09.23.06 at 10:58 am

So what did cats do before the invention of cardboard boxes? Wooden orange-crate type things just don’t have the same cronchability – plus- splinters – ouch.

22 Kendally 09.23.06 at 11:02 am

Oh, the faux-French accents are the best. Mah kitteh, she ees so beeyootiful, she spit on you.

23 sabrina 09.23.06 at 11:51 am

cute!

24 A thinker 09.23.06 at 11:54 am

Yet another demonstration of the First Law of Cat Physics: when a cardboard box and a cat are contained in the same vicinity, the cat is compelled to attempt to fit into the cardboard box. Then, the Second Law of Cat Physics comes into play: no matter the actual volume of the cardboard box, or the mass of the cat, the cat is somehow able to squeeze itself in till it fits. (Extraneous body parts are allowed to hang out to aid the cat, as in this case).

25 Kate 09.23.06 at 11:56 am

‘Tis a pretteh kitteh indeed. And silly.

But I just want to big-up Meg for challenging the Cat hegemony of Cute.

Rats, bats, baby ‘tiels, pig snogging, pillows with ears… there’s a whole world of cuteness beyond felis domesticus and little baby bunnies.

And as Meg is the Cute-Arbiter General, if she detects the presence of Cute, then the Cute-sceptics must be wrong…

*goes off to find some unappreciated bebeh things*

26 brownamazon 09.23.06 at 1:55 pm

I like how the cat matches the carpet.

27 Sheri 09.23.06 at 2:13 pm

What a beautiful cat!

28 Sweet Lady 09.23.06 at 2:25 pm

Next on Fox: When kittehs attack…

29 Danielle 09.23.06 at 2:38 pm

A thinker – you are sooo right! Here is a picture of my Sam. Given a choice to be in a large box, a small box, or in no box at all, she chooses the small box. I should have put a ring box down, too. She might have tried to stick her wee toes in at least. :)

30 Subhangi 09.23.06 at 2:43 pm

Mon Dieu! Monsieur Cat est tres … um …. ferocious. (Egad – how do you say that in French?)

31 Lizzy 09.23.06 at 3:19 pm

Awww, what a precious little purrmonster she is! The belly! *snorgles*

32 m in athens 09.23.06 at 3:22 pm

Bengal? Mau? I’m guessing this is your good old beautiful mutt cat DSH– the bestest kind there is! Could be wrong, but never underestimate the awesomeness of the moggy.

33 Peg of Tilling 09.23.06 at 3:26 pm

That last picture is like “Oh non! I have been spotted-ed! Queek! Act normale!”

Thank you Meg, for showing us cute in all its many splendid forms!

34 Theo 09.23.06 at 3:56 pm

Bwaha! Kittens are automatically insane.
I think this is another Bengal, too, and from what I hear, they’re like Tiggers made flesh (and fur). RAAAAAHR!!

35 emily 09.23.06 at 4:10 pm

so cute it’s painful.. yay bengals

36 Earl 09.23.06 at 4:31 pm

Cats Are Better Than Dogs

37 Pillow 09.23.06 at 5:25 pm

AGREED! *runs off to snorgle my kitties*

38 Isabelle 09.23.06 at 5:50 pm

Subhangi – ferocious = féroce :)

What an elongated kitteh. Très cute, indeed!

39 A thinker 09.23.06 at 5:52 pm

Danielle: An *excellent* demonstration of the First and Second Laws of Cat Physics. Very good indeed. Textbook example.

40 hrh.squeak 09.23.06 at 6:29 pm

Danielle: Beautiful kitty. I vote the picture goes into the Textbook.

Kate: “unappreciated bebeh things” – Bwaahaaahaaaa! Right behind ya, peep, ready to snorgle!

41 bats 09.23.06 at 6:58 pm

Did ze cat make eet out of ze box? Or did ze Frahnch Forayn Lesion half to help leeberate ze feelyne?

42 Danielle 09.23.06 at 7:52 pm

A thinker and hrh.squeak – for the publisher of the First Law of Cat Physics book, I will gladly sign over the copyright form. Or is that a copycat form?

43 Danielle 09.23.06 at 7:53 pm

I hate it when I get Foreign Lesions.

[zooms out of room and slams door]

44 useta hada kitteh 09.23.06 at 8:13 pm

um… looks more purr-ocious than ferocious to me. Or maybe fur-ocious? However you spells it, Mr. Cutey Spot-Spot certainly has it in for that poor defenseless box!

45 michellemybelle 09.23.06 at 8:14 pm

Danielle -
What’s the shipping cost for a Cat in a Box? UPS ground? Overnight?

46 lurkertype 09.23.06 at 8:16 pm

Le grrr! Le rowr! Le oof!

The spotted tum is redonk.

47 Netherland Dwarf rabbit, owner!!♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ 09.23.06 at 8:26 pm

Teeheehee to the nth degree!

48 Netherland Dwarf rabbit, owner!!♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ 09.23.06 at 8:27 pm

49 jaypo 09.23.06 at 8:55 pm

50 JCat 09.23.06 at 9:02 pm

Danielle, your kitteh fitting in the smaller box is sooooooooo sweeeeet…..

51 JCat 09.23.06 at 9:06 pm

The pics of that kitty remind me of my (late) gran and her (late) kitty. “Kittybaby” used to chew up the edges of boxes too before she would settle in. Ahhh, thanks for the memories Meg and submitter.

52 bats 09.23.06 at 10:39 pm

Oui, Danielle, but ze penicillin clears up zoze Foreign Lesions tout de suite…

53 katerpie 09.24.06 at 12:27 am

Just another reason why buying expensive cat toys is a waste… Except the Cat Dancer! Ma kittehs LOVE the Cat Dancer!

54 Trish 09.24.06 at 12:29 am

Why are all the animals on here French? Where’s the diversity? Oh, what I’d give to hear a dog with a Jamaican accent. Or a cockatiel with an Irish brogue.

55 KiraKira 09.24.06 at 12:47 am

Trish–or maybe a southern belle of an fuzzpuff?

56 Kim 09.24.06 at 3:04 am

This is my kitteh! Yes, she is a bengal, and her name is Layla :) I call her my fiesty lil’ monster! Thanks to Meg for posting my pics! And thanks to everyone else for your cute comments :) I love it!

57 KarKar 09.24.06 at 3:49 am

I love that last shot, “What are you looking at?”

58 Netherland Dwarf rabbit, owner!!♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ 09.24.06 at 10:31 am

*Danielle* When I made my comment about “this kitty in this box rocks” wasn’t a dis to yours.

I didn’t see/notice/click on yours (Cat or link till a minute ago…) Long after I made my 1st comment about the other kitteh.
Yours is cute too!
Different, but also cute.

59 Jane 09.24.06 at 3:00 pm

Awwwwe, this totally reminds me that I have to send in a video of my friend’s cat’s love for playing superwoman with plastic bags.

60 mariser 09.24.06 at 3:52 pm

Danielle, I love that picture of your Sam. cozee, cozee, cozee. and perfectly sized, not a bit of space wasted.

61 carolina 09.25.06 at 4:54 pm

Whenever I get a shipment of something in a box, I leave the empty box or boxes out for a few days for kittunns to enjoy. Makes ‘em so happy. Also, bags. They love to sit on plastic or paper bags and will actually fight over who gets to sit on the grocery bag. Can get ugly. I call them the “Bag Wars”
