Not to be confused with Boxing Day, which occurs the day after Christmas, and I still haven't quite figured out what Boxing Day is all about, since we don't celebrate it in America.
*shrug*
Here are some images of Eastside Cats enjoying their cardboard boxes.

We are fortunate that I have an endless supply of boxes from my office. Copier paper boxes, used shipping boxes, and coffee packet boxes pile up daily. Repurposing is recycling, and the cats enjoy them so. The 'O' Cats often get fresh boxes, since the rain and snow make them mushy, plus both Sweetie and The PO'M use them as scratchers.
I even purchased a fancy box-cutter, with retracting blade, just for boxes to be made more usable by the cats. The Hubby does NOT have access to this tool; it's MINE!

| Sexy, and mine, all MINE! Technically, this is a Self-Retracting Safety Knife with Tape Splitter Disclaimer: I bought is 'cause I wanted it, and am not trying to get anyone else to buy one! |

Cats and boxes are just... Built into their DNA.
ReplyDeleteyour knife is scaring me (that you wanted it that badly lol) the kitties are darling! Cody could give a rat's ass about boxes lol
ReplyDeleteYou should be scared of me and my knife! LOL! I remember that you've mentioned before that Cody isn't into boxes, but does Dakota enjoy them?
DeleteSo many boxes! We wouldn't know what to do . . . okay, that'd be a fib. Cats ALWAYS know what to do with boxes!
ReplyDeleteFrom what I understand, Boxing Day got it's name when servants were given time off the day after Christmas to take presents (a Christmas box) to their families. Employers also gave their servants a Christmas box on that day. Some say the practice and name originated in the Middle Ages.
ReplyDeleteThey are all enjoying their boxes.
Cats and boxes.....equal so much joy!
ReplyDeleteLike the box cutter. My good one I liked so much gave up the ghost several years ago and I cannot find another! One I like, I mean. I keep using my cheap little jack knife and it's only blade is serrated so I can't sharpen it. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteNow those are some happy cats!
ReplyDeleteBoxes are pawsome!!! --Mudpie
ReplyDeleteExcellent source of boxes you have there! We get ours from Costco.
ReplyDeleteWe don't have any boxes here. :-( The only one we get these days is the one for our litter delivery, but it's way too shallow to hold even our interest!
ReplyDeleteWe love the idea of a box Uber ride, though. MOL!
We have lots of boxes but they usually end up in the recycle bin. I never have one when I need to ship something though! LOL!
ReplyDeleteBoxes are the best. Your kitties are so cute enjoying those boxes :-)
ReplyDeleteNo wonder your cats look so happy, they get regular box upgrades!
ReplyDeletei must have one!! they look great-perfect tool for a cat lover
ReplyDeleteThey sure do know how to celebrate international box day!
