Made to measure

 

 Made to measure

Jellicoe and Herschel enjoy the Christmas season. They particularly appreciate the influx of cardboard boxes. No matter what size they are, they have to be assessed for the efficiency of their insulation. Does cardboard have tog ratings in the same way that duvets do?

It's more of a tight squeeze for Herschel . . .

 
                        . . . but possession is nine tenths of the law!

Gilbert is intensely interested in boxes at any time of the year. His nose nudges human hands working to open them. He likes investigating the packing material so often found inside and frequently carries it to his bed for further inspection. This involves pulling it gently apart with his teeth, to further understand its composition. Roxy is often invited to aid in the analysis.

Just like small children, cats and dogs are as delighted by the boxes as by the contents. I wish we could all be so readily pleased.

  1. Ha Ha! That's really funny. Our cat used to love them. It was funny yesterday when I was video calling daughter. Baby A (who can't quite walk yet) was finding delight in climbing on a box that had just been brought up from delivery. She kept climbing up on it. Daughter had to empty it so she wouldn't fall off it!

  2. Cute, but as I have no doubt ‘said’ before, but our solid old girl doesn’t do boxes.

  3. I sometimes wonder why none of my cats have ever used boxes for playing or lying. Zero interest from every single cat.
