Mr. "C" trying to stow away in one of our packing boxes. |
Trying to pack for a move when you have four cats in your house can be difficult at best. Apparently every empty box has to be carefully inspected by either Charlie Brown, Bing or Mr. "C". Cleo, our oldest Seal Point Siamese is content to sit on my writing desk and survey the carnage going on around her. I'm not sure how interesting the inside of an empty two foot packing box can be but the cats sure like them.
Empty packing boxes also make a great place to sleep. Throw some bubble wrap in the bottom and it takes a SWAT team to flush our cats out of them.
Boxes loaded to the gills also require a security inspection before being sealed with packing tape. Kittie apparently thinks that despite the box being loaded to the maximum there is still room for them.
Trying to secure a box with packing tape creates another challenge as Mr. "C" or Bing keep rubbing their heads against your hand while you try to avoid taping their tail to the same box your working on.
Then there is the matter of emptying a shelf or a cabinet. Once again the mover inspection kitties need to investigate. I'm not sure what is so facsinating about an empty drawer or closet but the cats must find something there we humans are missing.
So the move goes slowly but steadily ahead. I keep having this bad dream that Marcy and I are standing at the rear of a moving truck, loaded to the roof with boxes and furniture. We hear a muffled meow and then realize one of our cats is missing. YIKES!!
Have a plurrable day...
