Flashback Feral Friday: Boxed Up

Hola kitties! Tomorrow is both International Box Day and Garfield the Cat Day. We cats love boxes. We love playing in them and sleeping in them. If it fits, we sits. Our humans love lasagna-loving Garfield. This week's flashback features a box and maybe some Garfield. Surprise, Surprise.

Flashback Feral Friday: Boxed Up

The lead flashback is from November 2009. It's the first box-sitting foto shoot we did.

Truth be told, I've always preferred bags to boxes. They're softer.

Unfortunately all the pics turned out to be foto fails. Too bad Box Day wasn't next week when we post foto fails.

This one from May 2010 turned out much better with the exception that I wouldn't look at the camera. This box may look small to you but if I fits, I sits.

I wanted to show you my Garfield placemat. TW has at least one Garfield cat dish but it's very small and will give me whisker fatigue. Note the empty, antique food dish. Feed me, indeed.

Friendly Fill-Ins

Now it's time to join the Friendly Fill-Ins, a weekly feature held at this time, which is already in progress. Our hosts—15andmeowing and Four Legged Furballs—need no innerductions as they are giants in the cat blogging world. They think up the fill-ins and I fill in the answers. My answers are BOLD. This week my image relates to fill-in number one. Make sure you supervise your cat with any string toy.

1. If I could trade places with someone for a day, I would trade with my younger self. I was carefree and the weather didn't bother me. I didn't have asthma and I used to run around and play and play bite all day long.

2. I would like to own a condo with a catio some day. It would have a terrace which would turn into a catio. Maybe we can get a one-bedroom someday. Make it happen, Pop.

3. I can't stand the way I feel this time of the year. Even though we have air conditioning, the weather seems to get to me. I don't eat much and just lay in bed all day.

4. I'd like to say my peeps wearing shorts in the condo is my favorite thing about this time of the year. Alas, I can't cos for some reason they stopped wearing shorts when I moved it. Dunno why but it was dirty play on their part.

Caturday Art

The art is from one of the soft focus pics from November 2009. The best art comes from lousy pics and TW gives me plenty to choose from. The box looks more like a fence especially in the second piece although the watermark kinda hides it.

There's nothing I like more than painting art of myself. I have a lot to offer. I painted the above in oils …

… and then for something completely different, I really "arted" this one up with a filigree. TW's fave ring is all ornamental and filigreed so why shouldn't her fave cat?

Caturday Art is hosted by the lovely Athena Cat Goddess Wise Kitty and her mum to showcase the latest art by anipal artists using the many different digital apps, Photoshop or original art.

I also should note two other important holidays this weekend. Tomorrow is Juneteenth, an important day for little ghetto kittehs who were born in the 'hood. Sunday I get to give Pop his Father's Day bite. Happy Father's Day Pop!

Would you like to comment?

  1. I think the box photos looked good. I hope Pop has recovered from the last bite that you gave him before you give him his Father's Day bite. Have a good weekend!

  3. Mmm, shorts? My ZH won't wear 'em either, I think she suspects her knees will have as many band aids as her paws do if she dares ... course her olelady legs aren't all that purrty anymore either. Vanity thy name is woman. I like you in your box, just think somebody shoulda taken off the label so you don't get accidentally shipped somewhere ...
    Oh and BTW (the TW part being 'the way') you're looking mighty sweet in your artified picture. Bye now.

  10. We have a condo (with an outdoor balcony), I have often dreamed that we could have it enclosed and turn it into a catio, but alas it isn't in our "budget".....maybe one day if we win the lottery (sigh). Cody was NOT a fan of boxes AT ALL.......I used to think that was so strange! Roary on the other paw, LOVES THEM!

  11. Nice flashback box photos. Thank you for participating in the fill-ins, great answers. A condo with a catio would be nice- I hope you get one. How odd that your peeps don't wear shorts in front of you- maybe they are shy. :) I hope your Pop has a nice Father's Day. I love both pieces of art. Thank you for 2 puzzles- you are spoiling me. XO

  12. Pawsome art and flashback! I have that Garfield placemat too. I hope you get that catio one day, CK. And summer just makes you feel miserable, period.

  13. Those are great pics of you in the box, CK. Boxes are a lot of fun, but bags are easier to get into ...wouldn’t you agree? ~Ernie

  14. Happy birthday to your male human! I've learned to really enjoy boxes, and personally, I prefer them to bags. That's just me.

  17. Oh CK! We love that you flashbacked your box day! Mom did look at the ancient history box days and they were almost all photoshopped, so we tried a new tack and catch a cat in a box. We did not know it was Garfield Day! Mom used to have some Garfield stuff but we have no idea where it is, your food dish is lovely as is your art! Mom is itching to go and do puzzles! Thanks so much for visiting us and we hope you guys have a marvellously happy week. And CK, you are one of my favorite lady cats. Will you come for a ride in my Ferrari?

  18. You look good in a box, CK. And we love your Garfield mat!

    Happy Father's Day to Pop! No arm on the cob on tomorrow's menu, okay???

  21. We don't see any photo fails here. We just see a really stunning CK. And thank you for joining in on the Friendly Fill-Ins! While it would be fun for you to swap places with your younger self, CK, we think you've aged like fine wine and are endlessly wise. Sending you all purrs and happy thoughts!
