My son, Marc, used to tell me how much Kush liked getting into boxes – shoe boxes were her favorite. Of course, her exposure was largely shoe boxes. Here’s Kush in Victoria where I first witnessed her box obsession.
When she came to live here, I saved a couple of shoe boxes for her, but she wasn’t that interested. Apparently the mistake was in thinking that I could choose for her. She likes to do that herself. If a parcel arrives, it is important to empty the box as quickly as possible, since the cat needs to try it out for size.
Recently we purchased a sous vide machine. Kush liked the box and the sous vide container – empty or with the cover I sewed for keeping it clean.
Kush considers any basket or contoured surface as fair game.
I’ve lost the battle with regards to keeping Kush off the kitchen counter. My strategy is to wipe things down before I start food prep – and remind myself the cat won’t be here forever. Kush discovered a large mesh kitchen strainer that was a good fit.

SO funny, we have a cat that is totally obsessed with boxes too. She likes to squeeze into the small ones, and she likes to rip up the big ones!

HA HA – my equivalent of Kush is Matlock – 18 month old giant (17lb) goofball. I always have my small camera handy as you never know what he’s going to do – including attempting a somersault in the 10″ wide cat food cupboard and getting himself wedged upside down in the back of it.

I had to google Maru. I had seen a couple of her videos before but didn’t realize there were so many! That is one cute cat, along with someone with a lot of time to video! Kush is taking a bath on my lap as I type. She had a strenuous day of sleeping and needs to freshen up. Thanks for sharing. Guess it just shows that cats are pretty much the same all over the world.

If Kush was allowed outside I’m sure she’d try that as well. Fortunately she hasn’t tried that with my few indoor plants since there isn’t that much room (like that would stop her). It is amazing how cats can get comfortable just about anywhere!

My favorite is the one where she’s in that shallow metal bowl. What a funny cat! I’ve just about given up keeping my cat off the dining table. If I’m really hungry and she jumps up there, I’ll just keep eating and say “Okay, you’re getting away with it THIS time but don’t get too used to it!”
