@cherokeepatti My neighbor gave me a brand new expensive cat tree when their cat passed away. He wont go near it, but give him a box and he is happy for hours.

@Adrift A 'toy' that costs little! :)

@Adrift haha they said the same thing about children when they’d get a fancy new toy for Christmas, they’d rather play with the boxes. Probably because Captain Kangaroo was always showing up what we could make with shoe boxes, some glue and crayons.

@DancingStarGoddess Yea, I do wonder what fascinates cats about boxes.
A security issue maybe :)

@4meAndyou I have a garage and will put my boxes out there. Because sometimes a new purchase may break down or whatever and I need the box to ship it back for a refund. Early one spring after it got warm enough to open the garage door and warm it up in there I gathered up the boxes and cut them down and packed them in a huge box and took them to the recycling center. Over 20 boxes of varying sizes. I try not to keep them that long now. But sometimes we need a box to mail something so I keep some smaller ones.

@cherokeepatti The ONLY boxes I keep are the boxes that my Moorcroft pottery comes in. I've managed to hide most of them...and ran out of room...so some of them are in the corner behind the dining room table. You HAVE to keep the boxes...if you ever want to re-sell the pots. It increases the value for some reason.

@4meAndyou Good for you, I wish I could do that ;)

@AbbeyRhode Me too.
I had a pile of them! :)

@OriginalNedKelly Awwww, my cats used to also :)

@YoMomma Yea, when you have about a hundred of them they can get in the way ;)

@Nimbus i had less than 20 lol

@cherokeepatti Oh my!
I know exactly what you mean! :)

@Degbeme Only nine? 😛
Could be much worse ;)

@Nimbus Yeah it could, I sneak the smaller ones out

@bowman81 Yea, they are not too big and not too little, ideal for small items :)

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout Great.
SW Admins will be pleased ;)

@Thodsis Correct!
