How do you say, zay réhabeelitashons de boîte, de portmanteau, de chat, zay chat, no?

2 blair 12.08.08 at 1:26 pm

she’s thinking “i know there was an even smaller box in here. i must have eet!”

3 Katy 12.08.08 at 1:26 pm

That looks like my cat doing something my cat would do! Except then the kitten would shove him out (he is 16lbs and could stand to get bigger and the kitten is maybe 6lbs)

4 ceejoe 12.08.08 at 1:34 pm

what a great pic! :o )
pritty kitty!

5 T.U.M. 12.08.08 at 1:35 pm

It’s like the stretching portraits in the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland! It all looks perfectly innocent at the top, until you see the true horror at the bottom!

6 Von Zeppelin 12.08.08 at 1:55 pm

No wonder this cat is seeking a little box relaxation, after reading all those economics texts in that bookcase.

7 Welshcake 12.08.08 at 1:56 pm

Is boxhab really necessary? The box seems to be enjoying it.

8 Theresa 12.08.08 at 1:57 pm

I love tabbies. :)

9 ding 12.08.08 at 2:03 pm

This kit is the spitting image of my Otis.

10 Audrey Leigh 12.08.08 at 2:08 pm

Wonderful way to start my week!

11 mberkie0 12.08.08 at 2:09 pm

Boxhab! Boxhab! Boxhab!

12 Theo 12.08.08 at 2:11 pm

No, no, no.

13 cataddict 12.08.08 at 2:11 pm

Welshcake: “The box seems to be enjoying it.”

You must be someone that thinks “out of the box” -that box is smiling!

14 Hon Glad 12.08.08 at 2:14 pm

Kitty is already on boxhab, the boxes get smaller and smaller until any attempt to get in flattens them.

15 chanpon 12.08.08 at 2:19 pm

“I’m actually on the box-patch. I used to sit in the 14×16 at least 3 times a day, but now I’m down to a 8×10 twice a day and still feeling pretty good.”

16 Theo 12.08.08 at 2:22 pm

Cataddict — that’s ’cause she’s the only one, built like an Amazon.

17 skip 12.08.08 at 2:38 pm

Hahaha, T.U.M.!

18 Poohbear 12.08.08 at 2:45 pm

Ze hovèrtexte, she ees keeling mee !

19 Annie 12.08.08 at 2:49 pm

Suddenly without warning kitty folds self down and fits perfectly into miniscule box…Hiding until the next unsuspecting human walks by and then…..

20 jen 12.08.08 at 2:53 pm

oh ye olde hovertext strikes again.

cute kitty will have to start buying bigger books from amazon.

21 Pheas 12.08.08 at 2:59 pm

I ain’t got the time,
And my human thinks I’m fine!

22 Juno 12.08.08 at 3:12 pm

Jack, my BFOC (that’s “Big Fat Orange Cat”) currently has two of those amazon boxes–one in the den, one in the living room. Every time he climbs in I imagine him saying, “Aaaah! Just right–too small.”

23 Ray 12.08.08 at 3:35 pm

makes me think about my kitty…loves boxes, HATES packing tape!

24 Pam 12.08.08 at 3:38 pm

OMG! That could be my kitty!!

25 Charles 12.08.08 at 3:57 pm

Cat in a box? Nope. Not out of the ordinary at all.

As observed in “Ginger”, cats like cardboard boxes (however small they are):

The Scrolldown? I think Meg reads Go Fug Yourself!

27 Theo 12.08.08 at 5:40 pm

Absolutely she does. (I’m more of a Slashdot guy, m’self)

28 kultgirl 12.08.08 at 6:29 pm

Pheas… bwahahaha!

29 idiolect 12.08.08 at 6:29 pm

taj — beat me to it :D I wonder if we should alert the fug girls to this here “scrolldown”? Hehe.

30 berthaservant 12.08.08 at 6:29 pm

I had boxes all over the house t’other day and none of the three felines currently residing with me took the slightest interest. I can’t imagine who raised them, since I’ve been hooked on the cardboard cube crack since I was a behbeh myself…..

31 idiolect 12.08.08 at 6:35 pm

(Holy crap can we please find a dog somewhere that looks like karl lagerfeld “talking” to maybe a bird that looks like katie holmes or something? & narrate said conversation in the GFY style? Best. Crossover. Ever.)

32 Jezebel 12.08.08 at 7:16 pm

This cat needs help! Look at the glazed over far away gaze. So sad.

33 RM 12.08.08 at 7:56 pm

Gee, I didn’t know Amazon also sold kittehs. I do hope they have overnight shipping

34 tracyFlick 12.08.08 at 8:57 pm

Your cat looks very distinguished.

35 Annie 12.08.08 at 9:20 pm

This is Kitty’s Author Picture for Book he just finished writing, Title: How to train your Human and assorted Mouse recipies for the descerning cat gormand.

36 ratchic 12.08.08 at 10:55 pm

Just when you think it’s safe to leave a little shipping box on the floor…desperate kitty goes for desperate measures, or is it lesser measures?

37 Noelegy 12.09.08 at 3:56 am

Zee striped kittenpants, zey are always een season.

38 totalee puppy 12.09.08 at 4:12 am

BFOC–You sound like fun!
What are you doing New Year’s Eve? Sure, we can do BYOR (bring your own
rodent).

39 totalee puppy 12.09.08 at 4:19 am

OMG-I’m not eating meat–for myself I could carve a
mouse-sculpture out of
tofu with carrot slices and olives for ears and face-features.

40 cachorro 12.09.08 at 4:24 am

Little brother, there’s a job waiting for you at
Kyoto Kitchen. Patrons will line up to try your
tofuyucky. I’m so proud of
you, really–I just have a
weird way of showing it.

41 DLR in Canada 12.09.08 at 4:30 am

I think that is an Amazon shipping box! Funny, I didn’t know Amazon was selling kitties by the box! :-P

42 ashagato 12.09.08 at 9:27 am

well, it’s better than d*** in a box!

43 angel* 12.09.08 at 10:05 am

awwwww!!! Box-hab is indeed a great problem we are dealing with here, but I think now the holiday/Christmas season is upon us, we are now starting to have some serious holiday decoration/Christmas tree-hab. There are kittehs right now (including my own) who are wrapped up in/taking down the lights, chewing on the bows, garland, and tinsel, and literally scratching and jumping/attacking the Christmas tree. It is going to be difficult season people… *bleen*!

44 sue 12.09.08 at 10:41 am

i see a smiley face…..!!

or i am in need of boxhab too?

45 Theo 12.09.08 at 6:18 pm

Sue — that’s what Amazon says you’re *supposed* to see, when you look at their logo. It’s not the only possible Rorschach-style interpretation, of course. (see also Ashagato’s comment, above)

46 Charlie 12.10.08 at 2:53 am

When kitties try to eat pringles and get there face stuck in the tube is it better to laugh or to save them from their nommitude o.o Its a question from the soul

47 Poohbear 12.10.08 at 7:06 am

@ Charlie — first you laugh and then you save them. Or, alternately, you save them while laughing.

48 Poohbear 12.10.08 at 7:25 am

‘tively, that is.
