The Dude Chilling As Always

Got a package from WalMart. It was filled with paper for packaging. A good thing since it was jars of coffee. The Dude likes to check out the smells from the paper. He chilled here for a few minutes. I think he will be glad when the deck is done. They both checked the empty box out. Took their turns hiding inside for a few minutes. Now they are done with both. Brendel is sleeping now, the noise doesn't seem to bother her as much.

You're so lucky to have that bomb-sniffing cat who searches everything for dangerous material. I'm sure you sleep well at night.

I know, there could be anything in this packaging. I sleep well until early morning when they both say it is time to get up.

I wonder why cats love so much the boxes, I have seen some videos, even lions an tigers love to hide inside BIG boxes.

@CarolDM They smell the boxes before getting inside, they seem to live an adventure when a new box arrives home.

They feel safe I believe. It is sark and safe. Kind of like when they hide in closets. And it is fun and different smells.

Animals have such sensitive noses. That is how they check out their world!

@CarolDM I believe our furry ones get used to things around them. I do a workout after I finish my lunch during the week and my cat is not bothered by it and sleeps through it. I was wondering if the noise bothered them because their hearing is so much better than ours.

I always try to keep something different out for mine. They do hear better than us, no doubt.

Kitties love their boxes. Nico loves it when I go shopping and bring in bags...He enjoys checking them out and seeing what is of interest to him.

Danie and Yuki would run towards me whenever a parcel has arrived. They always thought its theirs. They normally get deliveries for their new clothes, toys, and treats and so they always think the parcel is theirs.

One of the garden guys, Mr Hissy has been very chill lately. About a fortnight ago, he was neutered, so I am hoping he won't get in any more fights. So far seems to be working out. I have tried to encourage him to come inside, he and my moggs Gaia ignore each other, but with the improving weather he seems happy enough, so I won't force him

You are stocking up on coffee; and so am I. I ordered two jars of decaf from Walmart on Monday. They said that the backup in the Suez Canal was going to cause a shortage of TP and coffee. I don't know whether that's true or not; but I'm going to stock up on both. They were out of Folger's; so I chose Taster's Choice...another old standby of mine. Great picture.
