@monicarooney It just means the surface is cold to its tiny pads...just because cats have fur does not mean they are warm ... those small bodies need warmth...

@Lstn2urmama there is a box we have for her just out of frame but I think she likes the novelty

@monicarooney It's the principle, though: if I fits, I sits. It must be upheld!

@monicarooney a paperweight capable of doing its job and judging you at the same time ? ( I know the profile ).

@monicarooney @LibertyForward1 I can’t believe that not only has this poor, deprived cat never been fed, but that there isn’t even a proper box to sit in…

@monicarooney it box shaped?

@monicarooney that’s a “Nice fingers you have there, human, leave my box alone” look. 😂

@monicarooney

In these days of rising prices with increases in the cost of everything (including cardboard) it is good to see domestic cats aligning their behaviours with the financial realities of life.

We all have to do more with less.

@monicarooney “Box” can also be a state of mind…

@monicarooney scientific (crowd sourced) experiments show that an appropriate size rectangle drawn on the ground can be a "box" as far as cats are concerned.

@monicarooney It's a perfectly cromulent Box Without Sides.

If the cat could speak it would say, yes it is a box.

@monicarooney There was an experiment once testing this and it turns out if you draw just the corners of a square cats will lie in the middle of them.

@Chigaze cats are the weirdest creatures and I’m glad they let us share their lives

@monicarooney Another fun part is that the box behaviour is most if not all cats including the big ones. There's great video from zoos of tigers in boxes.
