Ah, the cat’s favorite gift. A box. All sizes fit.

add soundproofing panels, and i’ll make that my home

Our cats current favorite box is the one that the vacuum cleaner came in, which is ironic since they hate the vacuum

With six cats, we kill a lot of vacuums

’Richard’s House’ is a cute touch. :)

What fun!

Oooo, good idea! I’m trying to avoid cleaning my hall closet!

There’s no hurry! Besides it’s more rewarding to care for Ric. It’ll be there tomorrow.

That’s not avoiding work, that’s very valuable work. Ask Ric.

The fort is most definitely an art project and therefore not an avoidance of work. Works for me. ☺️

Amazon Príme box is the current favorite here. For the cats

You can just feel the love in this one!

Feel this hardcore. As a work-from-home cartoonist, I speak more gibberish to my cat than I do real words to other humans :P

No box goes unused.

Our cat disdains boxes. She does like to lair up under furniture where there’s enough room.

Ric Flair looks happy. It was worth it.

Now Ric’s all boxed in.

Meow you’re talking!

Amanda’s operating a cathouse? Huh? It’s a cat fort? Whew! ;)

This is so relatable…

Making a cardboard fort for Ric was very important!

Dear Amanda. Are you spying on me? It’s okay, but it doesn’t have to be a secret. Just come out and say hello!

What is better for a cat than their own Magical Cardboard Box! We still got a toon out of it so it’s a win win in my box….oh, I meant “Book.”

Does the cardboard fort have a wet bar?
