Cat's and Boxes

This is Grace at home playing with a cardboard box. What is it about cats and boxes? You can buy them the most expensive toy there is and they will love the box it comes in the most.
There is a great "Simon's Cat" cartoon about a cat and a box, and it is so true to life.

I had a bit of a fright yesterday with the visiting kitten Olive. I had just started eating a banana when the door bell rang. I left the banana on the coffee table and answered the door. when I went back into the living room I realised Olive had eaten my banana. I have never had a cat eat fruit before and was in a panic as I didn't know whether it was safe for cats to eat bananas. I after some frantic research I found out bananas are safe but mushrooms can be deadly. I can well imagine a cat polishing off some left over stroganof but never have I had a cat with a penchant for fruit.
Olive is fine and I am keeping a watchful eye on the fruit bowl....in fact when Olive first went to her for ever home she fell asleep in a fruit bowl, it was obviously a sign of things to come.
