Off the Mark by Mark Parisi for May 05, 2019

Don’t miss the nightly laser pointer parade!!!

And the Magic Mountain Mouse Ride.

Yeah let’s box them up and send them to Siberia!

Disneyland allows feral cats to live there to keep the rodent population down. Sort of funny considering their mascot is a mouse

It’s a place for kittens and big cats.

Either a box or a large brown paper bag.

And the gym is a furniture store.

There’s a whole lot of fun to be had there!

My Russian Blue Ashley has only a few things in life that really excite him, laser toys which get him charging about the house like a greyhound and like many other cats he loves a cardboard box.

I got a new desk chair and the box it was packaged in has provided him with hours of entertainment. He creates a sizeable mess with chewing and clawing it to pieces and so it’s located in a discrete location behind the sofa, which means the noises he makes can be distracting when trying to watch television.

I do not own cats. I have (and do) own cat food.

You buy the food and the cats own you.

Yay! we’re here! I get dibs on the first big box…….

Box and YARN factory.

Right next door to a grain elevator – all the mice you can eat!

Next to the honeybee-human symbiosis, cats’ fascination with boxes has got to be one of the most serendipitous phenomena in nature. That a simply by-product of mail order shipping can serve both as free entertainment center and the instinctive icon of low-maintenance care among domestic companion animals is truly amazing.

Cats aren’t all that different from People-kittens in their fascination with boxes. My mom has pictures of me & my sibs playing in the house she made out of the box our washing machine came in 60 years ago.

Along the line route there are expensive, upholstered couchs to scratch.

In regard to the strip today..I have never had a cat that cared about going in a box, or a paper bag, for that matter

This is especially funny if you’ve seen a Simpsons episode where Bart’s class takes a boring field trip to the box factory.

Mark, you nailed it.

Where every box is Mr. Fluffy’s Wild Ride!
