I may chat about my books, what I'm writing or reading, or just general thoughts. You may read posts about my cats or just my crazy life in general. Comments are welcome, if anyone wants to interact with me. Maybe we can share war stories, whether it's writing related or just about life in general.

Finding contentment in small things

My little boy, Raven

So is the way with cats.  Sometimes I think we humans could take a lesson from them, or maybe any other household pet.  It takes so little to keep our furry friends happy.



 Raven in his box
 
Recently I ordered something from Amazon and Raven immediately took to this box, sculpting it to make it his own.  He loves this little hovel and actually gets upset if the other cats use it.  It’s almost as if he’s been waiting for this little box all his life.  He loves it so much that some nights he’ll sleep there instead of coming to bed with me.

Raven in his box.  Notice the chewed up edge.  It's even worse now.


I really don’t care that he chews on it and makes quite a mess because I feel the pets can do what they wish with their toys.  I just clean it up and go on about my day.  I would never dream of taking this away from him just because he chews all over the cardboard and scatters the fragments all over the house.  He’s having fun and enjoying himself and that’s all that matters to me.  He isn’t bothering my stuff.  Wouldn’t it be nice if humans could be satisfied with something so simple?

    So cute he is. It would be nice if we had the same attitude ourselves indeed.

      Betty,

      I know. Wouldn't it be nice if we could find such contentment in a cardboard box? Sometimes the cats amaze me.

      Thanks for reading and leaving a comment.

    I agree, cats should do what they want in their homes :) I only throw their boxes away when one of the kitties pees in them.

      pilch,

      I would do the same. Thank goodness that's not happened yet. Raven would have a fit.

    Cats and boxes. I was reading something the other day about why cats like boxes. It had something to do with camouflage and safe zones.

      Liz,

      That's interesting and makes sense. They do probably feel safe in a box.

      Thanks for reading.
