It's International Box Day! Yay!

We love our boxes!!!  Here are some of us in boxes from this last year:

 Missy loves to hide and then attack unsuspecting passersby!

 Dare says:  "Is this close enough to being in the box?"

We got the box from Mommy's Christmas present, and it was big enough for all of us!

Foster & Former Feral Friday: Panther & the Box

Panther writes:

Hi, everyone!  Remember when I wrote that I was having trouble figuring out why I was supposed to do my business in that box thing?  Well, I figured it out yesterday!!!!!  I've been in for almost 24 hours now, and I was a good boy using the box for both pee and poop!  I even demonstrated it for Mommy when she came home, although I already had demonstrated it for Daddy earlier in the day.  Both of them are so proud of me, and my foster aunties and uncles are so proud of me, too.  They even followed me into the potty room to make sure that I was using it properly.

Thanks, everyone for your comments and suggestions, but I ended up figuring it out all by myself!

Wow!  It's my Gotcha Day anniversary already?  Mommy and Daddy can't believe that it's been 6 years since the day that Mommy Erin came running inside yelling about baby kittens crossing the road!  You can see me in the picture with Panther above, but the picture below is the first one of me, when I was 4 weeks old, with Mommy Erin.  She was my first mommy, then Mommy and Daddy adopted me when Mommy Erin wasn't able to keep me after she moved out.  She still loves me, though, and finds me to say hi every time she can.

I had hidden in an old tire in the neighbor's yard.  Mommy Erin and Mommy went into the yard and picked me out of the tire, then brought me into the house to have Daddy watch me while they went to get my brother.  Here's a picture of us after we'd been cleaned up and fluffed up:

International Box Day!

This post is dedicated to International Box Day! We love, love, LOVE our boxes here at the green house! Mommy is an independent Avon sales rep., so we get boxes every two weeks. Yay! In addition, sometimes we get surprise boxes from things Mommy and Daddy buy, or at holidays (like Christmas and birthdays). So here are some of our box pictures, past and present, with captions below each picture.

We don't want you to think that it's just Carbon who enjoys those Avon boxes! We all love them, and the lids as well. Here's some pictures to prove it. :)

No, Mommy, put that away and PET ME!!!

Carbon's Mancat Monday

Mommy's an Independent Avon Sales Rep. We love, love, LOVE when she gets her orders, because that means we get BOXES!!! Her order came yesterday, but she didn't organize it until Daddy left for work (more room to work on it). So, of course, I snoopervised. When she was all done organizing and had sorted into the two boxes (customer orders and her brochures), she put the lids on them.

I immediately jumped on the first box and "loafed" (pulled in my feet and became a rectangle shape). She petted me, then picked me up!

What? You don't want me there, Mommy? But it's MY box now; you're done with it!

She stacked the other box on top, then came and picked me up again. By this time, I was very confused and didn't really want to be picked up. She held me close and said that she had a surprise for me. I looked, and there were the two boxes being a BIG box for me to be "king of the mountain" on! I gave her a nose kiss, and she set me down on the top. I immediately snuggled down into a "loaf" again, happy as can be. :)
