Squirt & the butter box, part 3

The black cat has been curious about all the excitement with the box and finally tried it out herself. She likes it. It makes Squirt jealous.


The butter box is almost completely gone on the two sides. We need to turn it around and see if Squirt will start chewing on the other sides. But I almost think he's been chewing it down like this on purpose. I think he has a plan for just exactly how he wants his box to end up.


Fat and happy...

Update

So here's an update on THE BUTTER BOX. I know this is totally pointless but we've been entertained by it.

This is about where we left off

A couple weeks later...Squirt slowed down about this time and I thought he was losing interest. Then things picked back up again.
Caught in the act

I can't find my camera but the cat is currently working on the R in BUTTER. I also kept finding the box moved over, completely covering the heat register. Naturally I blamed Andrew only to find out one day when Andrew wasn't around to blame that the cat has been moving it. Sneaky little bugger hogging all the heat.

Squirt and the butter box

This has turned into an experiment.

I got home from Costco one day with a bunch of groceries. As I was putting groceries away, emptying out all the Costco boxes, I looked over and Squirt had taken a liking to this butter box. I didn't think much of it. Cat's like cardboard boxes. So I just kind of left it there for him for a couple of days figuring he'd eventually get bored with it. Then I noticed he was gradually eating it. And it was becoming his new favorite place to sleep. Andrew thought it was funny so he made a permanent home for the butter box behind our recliner right next to the heater vent. Squirt LoVeS it. He snuggles up in his nice warm box, eats the top layer, then goes to sleep. If Andrew is chasing him around the house, Squirt will run straight to his box, chew on it, then snuggle up. It's like his refuge.

Out of curiosity I'm leaving the butter box exactly where it is for now. I want to see how long it will take him to eat the box right out from under himself. I'm pretty sure he'll do it.

You can still see the Kirkland emblem on the top left side of the box.

The Kirkland emblem is gone

Andrew made a little sign that says 'Squirts kitty home'
