Official Cat Holiday: International Box Day

WAFFLES:  So Boss, if it's a cat holiday today how come I have to work?

KATIE:  Waffles, you don't know the meaning of work. When I was your age...

WAFFLES:  But Boss, kissing is hard work. And with these new volume discounts, I don't even think I can make enough scratch to go to chicken ranching school.

KATIE:  Waffles, you have plenty of scratch. And when you do finally go to your chicken ranching school, I've got the perfect place for you to live. How do you feel about camping?

WAFFLES:  I don't know Boss. This looks pretty flimsy. And I can't really drive it anywhere, right? It's not like an RV or something. How will I get to chicken ranching school?

KATIE:  Well I was kind of thinking we could just ship you...

WAFFLES:  Ship??? Like in the water? I KNOW!!! And you can come too.

KATIE:  Uh oh.

We all live in a cardboard submarine,

a cardboard submarine,

a cardboard submarine.

About Today's Photos
In honor of International Box Day, we picked out a few of our very favorite box photos from previous blog posts. Sometimes Glogirly draws on boxes with her big Sharpie and sometimes she draws on boxes in Photoshop.  For Katie, boxes have been more of a spectator sport. She's very cautious about getting into enclosed spaces... especially with Waffles looking on.

But for the orange daredevil, an open box is an open invitation to fun and games. A box to Waffles is like a playground to a little kid. We'd love to know what kind of adventures he's imagining.

International Box Day

Yup, it's a real thing.

Bathtub Boxing

WAFFLES:  Hey Boss! How about a boxing match?

KATIE:  What do you mean, Waffles... right here in the bathtub? And speaking of bathtubs, how did you manage to drag your box into the tub anyway?

WAFFLES:  So whattaya say, Boss? Do you wanna box?

KATIE:  Do I WANT a box? You know I don't like boxes so NO, as a matter of fact I don't WANT a box. I don't WANNA one either.

WAFFLES:  Awww, c'mon Boss! You KNOW you wanna.

KATIE:  You mean like this?

WAFFLES:  See, Boss? It's fun, right?

WAFFLES:  Boss?

Trapacat Tussle In The Townhouse & GIVEAWAY!

WAFFLES:  Hey Boss! Wanna go a few rounds in my new Trapacat?

KATIE:  Trapacat? This is a trap, right?

WAFFLES:  No, seriouslies. It's a BOX!  You know, for playing and stuff. 

KATIE:  It's the *and stuff* that worries me.

WAFFLES:  Look Boss, it's super simple. The Trapacat box comes flat like this, with the cool design already drawn on it. Then we just get Glogirly to fold it together. I saw her do it and there weren't even any HBO words.

WAFFLES:  They're also super-fun to play with BEFORE you fold them together! There's flaps to hide behind and punch with your paws. And they're like a slip-n-slide on the hardwood floors ...without the water.

KATIE:  We got THREE box traps?

WAFFLES:  Not box traps! Trapacats! A beach one, a jungle one and a boxing ring one.  And the nice people that gave us our Trapacats are giving THREE lucky GLOGIRLY readers a Trapacat of their very own! 

WAFFLES:  C'mon, Boss! Let's play! 

KATIE:  Waffles, the only way I'm going to play with you is if Gloman referees.

KATIE:  This is SO not what I had in mind.

Trapacat!

Step 1 -  Set Trapacat Down anywhere in your home.

Suspicious Package Alert

Hi everyone, Katie here.

We get a lot of boxes here at the Townhouse. The UPS & FedEx men are like family. Except of course that they still insist on ringing the doorbell.

Many of you know I'm not a fan of boxes, bags or any other enclosed spaces. Maybe I was a packing peanut in a former life.

I'm particularly concerned with the contents of this box.

It's not food. It's not nip. It's definitely not toys. Yet Glogirly is acting like it's kitty stuff.

There's a blue something or another inside this box and I don't like the looks of it.

Oh. My. Cod. I REALLY don't like the looks of it.

At least it's not pink. That would be a very bad sign.

Vote for GLOGIRLY & Support Minnesota's Feline Rescue, Inc.

We need your votes to help win $1000 for some very special shelter kitties. Just a few miles from the Townhouse sits a small rescue shelter called Feline Rescue, Inc of St. Paul, Minnesota. Feline Rescue is a no-kill, all-volunteer cat rescue organization with shelter, foster and outreach programs. They provide safe shelter, veterinary care and socialization for stray, abandoned or abused cats until permanent homes can be found. 

Feline Rescue is one of the little guys making a big difference in the lives of homeless kitties.  And nothing would make us happier than being able to award them such a generous donation. 

Please take a moment to vote GLOGIRLY for Funniest Blog. And while you're at it, we've got a number of friends and fellow bloggers that are finalists in other categories. Each of them has selected an equally deserving shelter for their donations, should they win. 

So, Vote, Vote & Vote some more. Once daily thru July 31. Thank you so very much. We heart you big time.

Special Delivery For Team Katie

WAFFLES:  Um, Boss?

CATHY KEISHA:  YO Katie!

WAFFLES:  Um, Boss? The brown truck man came with a package for you.

CATHY KEISHA:  We knows how you feel 'bout the UPS man. You know, with the doorbell and all. So I axed him to leave the box and then told him to scram.

WAFFLES:  Um, Boss? Where do you want it?

KATIE:  Just hang onto it. It's for tomorrow.

WAFFLES:  Um, boss? Can I put it down?

KATIE:  Did I say put it down?

WAFFLES: Um, no?

KATIE:  Fine. Put it down. But don't play with it.

WAFFLES:  Um, Boss? But it's a box. Isn't that the same as a toy? I thought I read it in the Cat Handbook.

KATIE: Waffles, you can't read.

CATHY KEISHA:   Stupid interns. (rolls eyes) Don't ax me what's in the box. Alls I can say is it's a very impawtant box. Come back tomorrow and we just might bust it wide open.

We hope you're enjoying our political spin. There's more silliness on the horizon, in fact you never know what political landscape Katie might find herself in the middle of. We think laughter is food for the soul. Quite possibly more tasty than tuna and salmon.

But the message behind our mischief is not a laughing matter. Please help us help the amazing cats of Blind Cat Rescue & Sanctuary.
