A few sillies of cats and boxes:

6/19 is International Box Day!

Yes, cats often LURV cardboard boxes, but some humans seem to hoard them.

No one that I know, I've just heard about it...

Am thankful that we haven't run out of boxes in a long, long, long time.

In honor of June is Audiobook Month,

I recommend Elly Griffith's Ruth Galloway series:

The Crossing Places (2009)

The Janus Stone (2010)

The House at Sea's End (2011)

A Room Full of Bones (2011)

Ruth's First Christmas Tree (2012)

A Dying Fall / Tomb of the Raven King (2012)

The Outcast Dead (2014)

The Ghost Fields (2015)

The Woman in Blue (2016)

The Chalk Pit (2017)

The Dark Angel (2018)

The Stone Circle (2019)

The Lantern Men (2020)

The Man in Black (2020)

The Night Hawks (2021)

The Locked Room (2022)

The Last Remains (2023)

Jane McDowell, Narrator

Archaeologist Dr. Ruth Galloway lives alone in a remote area called Saltmarsh near Norfolk, England when she's asked to help identify bones found nearby by Detective Chief Inspector Harry Nelson.

In some parts, uncovered bones could be a fresh corpse, or a 3,000 year old Early Iron Age burial.

And oh, the mysteries, murders, antiquities, museums, local legends, and complicated loves that ensue.

Cats and boxes: a match made in Heaven.

19 June is International Box Day!

A day late, but...

International Box Day highlights the environmental benefits of cardboard boxes: cardboard is a recyclable and biodegradable material, making it an eco-friendly alternative to plastic packaging. 

By celebrating boxes, we encourage sustainable practices and promote the reuse and recycling of these versatile containers.

And most cats LURV boxes!

International Box Day

Around Eastside Cats, any box becomes a cat toy, a beddy, or a hideout.

This is Chili Bruce, loafing in a cardboard box.  I then Prisma app'd it.

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.

Chili Bruce, taken yesterday!

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!
