Clever! Sometimes You Hoomans Get it Right!

in #catsofsteemit5 years ago

It's pretty common knowledge that cardboard boxes make excellent cat beds... or, as we sometimes call them here, "cat traps."

Since the Hoomans around here have a couple of online bsuinesses that involve the shipment of products, we get a steady stream of cardboard boxes in the mail every week.

Usually, there's just some production nonsense/"box certificate" printed on the bottom... but look at this:

I've shared something similar before but it was nonsense, because the box was too small to hold even a 4-week old kitten. But this was on a decent sized box!

In other news, I'm glad to see the #catsofsteemit tag starting to get some traction! Many thanks to so the 20+ people who have used the tag in the past week or so. I know there are many more "cat people" in our community... my informal goal is to get up to 100+ regular users by the end of 2019!

Maybe we'll have some contests and SBI giveaways along the way, as incentives.

On the guest bed... I always help visitors fluff the bed!

Meanwhile, thanks to a couple of Steemit's "whales" who recently dropped a couple of nice upvotes on my posts. No, I'm not "rich" now, but it does go to show that sometimes we little "redfish" sometimes get a little attention from "above."

So I am grateful for that!

Hope you have all had a beautiful weekend!

Those boxes are as great as any good box
I bet when those hoomans are packing boxes you don't hesitate to investigate.

Oh yes, pretty much all boxes are a marvelous thing. And yes, I am very good at helping out in the "shipping department." I even jumped in the bin with the packing peanuts once...

We go thru a bunch of em too...!!! Scratchy Beds..... True Story #catsofsteemit

Around here, we haven't had as much interest in scratchy beds... we got a couple of them once, and the cats really weren't very impressed till we put towels/blankets in them... but hey, we tried!

We bought a cat scratchie for our cats, which came in a box. Guess what the cats preferred to play with? Thats right, the box. It would have been cheaper to just buy them a cardboard box.

The best toys are always the free ones! The all time favorite scratching post was not one of the fancy ones from the pet store, but the inner tube from a roll of wall-to-wall carpeting wrapped in sisal rope. We LOVE that thing!

That box is awesome! The place I bought Wallys food bowl from (Vivipet) includes a cool cardboard scratcher at the bottom of the box. Perfect for kitties. 😊

Well, that's very cool that they think to do that! Haven't seen that yet, but then we haven't ordered that many pet supplies online.
