If I Fits, I Sits

 I know cats like boxes, but surely it's too hot now to snuggle up in one?

Recently, one of the discount supermarkets I shop at hasn't had large-size plastic bags.  I try to take my own shopping bag, but sometimes I forget. The store has a stack of boxes that customers can use, so I usually get one of those, which means there are a lot of boxes hanging around the house. As soon as the box is put on the table, the cats appear; it's like magic!

I turned this box on its side to get the last few things from the bottom. I put away a couple of things, turned around to see Sam very comfortable in the box, with some vegetables!

One cat in a box I can understand; there's room for air to circulate around him so he doesn't get too hot!

But this....

Small box, big cats.

How is that comfortable? Surely they are hot! They were in there for hours!

Alfie on a box.

Poor Alfie couldn't get in the box, so he got on the one next to it!

Today Fred found his happy place.

Very contented Fred.

Like a box but not hot! This is one of the baskets I use when shopping. It got left in the dining room so Fred claimed it for his afternoon nap. I think he feels safe here, but it's not as hot as being in a box!
