Cat In a Box

What is it with cats
and empty cardboard boxes?
I'm not quite sure where to begin,
they can tell at a glance that
there's nothing inside it
but still go ahead and climb in.
There's nothing to do in it,
no toys there for games,
but still, over two hours it's
been sat in,
my good lady asks
'why not throw it away?',
'I cant', I said,
'It's got our cat in'.

I thought you were going to give the answer that all cat owners seek, along with why do they always get in the way of your feet. Your poetry always worth reading. Regards David in NZ

A great write Viv! I asked my cat that very question. Alas, my mastery of the "Cat" language is very rusty and I didn't understand a word she said.

Cats are an enigma, besides being unpredictable. A fun piece!...ab
