The best-laid plans...

So my cat and I tend to engage in a cold war for the possession of the best seating in the apartment. I've managed to hold my claim on the computer chair by deploying a Feline Thwarting Device every time I get up from it. It's usually a large pillow that's supposed to be living on the futon, but I've recently been grabbing something else that's nearby and placing it on the chair in my absence. This object has been working quite well.

However, I may have to re-think this strategy.



She stayed in there for quite a while as I was snapping pics of her.



And then I figured out why she was staying in there...




..she hadn't yet figured out how to get out. XD I solved her problem by tipping the box over a bit, whereupon she got out, jumped off the chair, and pretended she hadn't been trying to steal it from me.

You...your kitty got trapped inside a container with NO TOP. Awesome!

I KNOW! Isn't she SMART?! :D

I suspect she'd eventually have worked it out, but it was fun to make fun of her. XD

She scored! IN, ON, and IN THE WAY---all at once! Despite her predicament (which btw I refuse to believe was a problem for her; she just didn't choose to move yet), kitty won this round.

I love her expression, it's just like >:<

But that is a box, a cloth box, but a box just the same --she is a cat.

I always love your kittyspam.

Her looks says "I'm inconveniencing you." But her predicament says stuck. My cat did this with a bucket the other day. Thought he'd be slick by climbing in, didn't realize kitty bellies make climbing back out problematic.

Box regardless

She's adoreable. I love tiger cats. Love them.

I love her expression which says "yeah, I'm stuck. But you're not getting in her either." This is a girl cat strategy. She will wait until you fix things for her. A boy cat would FLING himself out of the box, endagering himself, the box, the chair and breakable items in other rooms.

Gatz laughs for you.

That's awesome! She looks like my girl, Ryoko, Destroyer of Worlds... :)
