Box Day Is Coming!

Posted on June 18, 2015 by onespoiledcat

Tomorrow is a big day in blogville…………..! That’s right – it’s International Box Day! Celebrating boxes – most of us can do that no problem right? Who doesn’t really like a GOOD box to lounge in, keep our toys in, EAT (hahahaha) – indeed the box has so many uses.

I’m a BIG fan of boxes – not as much now that I’m older as years ago with ONE exception. At Christmas you can’t keep me out of boxes – I wait for Mom and Dad to open their stuff up and the minute the box becomes available I’m ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL over it (or in it). I’ll drag a toy or two into it or maybe a ribbon…..and if I’m lucky there’s tissue inside which makes it a DOUBLE win.

Boxes are great so I hope you’ll consider posting a photo of you enjoying your “box of choice” tomorrow…………….I will be! Also the Tabby Cat Club will be celebrating the day too so if you are interested in reading the posts there, please feel free to drop by – I’ll have the link on my blog tomorrow……….

Meanwhile, keep cool………….and enjoy a box if you have one – never too early to celebrate you know!

Hugs,

Sammy the Box Fan

  Good! A nice box is a great spot to curl up for a nap or stash a toy or treat – when I was your age I did that ALL THE TIME………!!!

I’m still not convinced that boxes are All That. I have to say, though, Boodie makes them look very appealing!

  Boxes used to be BIG around here – as I’ve gotten older they have become less desirable EXCEPT at Christmas time. There are SO MANY then that you can’t help but crawl into one or two!

    we couldn’t find a box what was big enough for me (and my dad said no as my mom affered him to buy 87 pairs of shoes to get a big box). I didn’t eat the box, but I made a giant mess with the box-confetti :o)

      Your Dad just doesn’t want to have fun – do you think he’s pouting about the law suit?????????????? Maybe……..anyway, I can see what you mean about finding the right size to fit a Weim. How about if your Mom buys a new refrigerator? That would be a perfect sized box?

I only stick my head into boxes to check for food. Once I stuck my head into a bag and it got stuck in the handle. Then I was wearing the bag like a necklace. It’s dangerous business. Be careful out there, kitties.

Love and licks,
Cupcake

I had no idea there was a special holiday dedicated to boxes, Sammy! How exciting! My brother, Steve, had better be careful though. Last time he fell asleep in a box, Ethel was trying to figure out how she could ship him off in the mail!

You stay cool, too, Sammy 🙂
