How was it with your cats? How many boxes did they get into and do they share?

Happy Box Day!

“A couple swap city life for the country, but their picturesque new hometown turns out to be just a little bit different to what they were expecting.” (from IMDB)

Elizabeth (played by Madolyn Smith Osborne) unpacks a cardboard box in a quaint looking farmhouse. Andy (played by Chevy Chase) walks by in the background, dressed like a fisherman and carrying tackle and a net.

Happy International Box Day ! (because, well, any excuse to post about cats....)

WHat's your favourite kind of box? What would you like to see in it?

The Dutch-Belgian artist, Henriëtte Ronner-Knip, kept hunting dogs, cats and a parrot that she used as models. She would observe them in her studio, then make paper sculptures in the desired poses and set them together with props, such as furniture and fabrics.
