Rare Photo of Kitten Sitting in Box

The Fluffington Post has obtained this incredibly rare photo of a kitten sitting in a box.

“The box is the kitten’s natural habitat,” said feline naturalist Keith Levick, “but due to aggressive recycling programs, many boxes are being removed from living room floors. This is devastating to the kitty environment.”

Levick explains that kittens generally like to sit — or “roost” — in boxes for hours at a time, but that obtaining photos of this activity is exceptionally rare, and becoming more rare due to the destruction of the boxlands.

Professional Kitten Snuggler Weighs in at 3 Pounds, 2 Ounces

Sugar Ray Paws, current reigning champion in the featherlight kitten weight class, weighed in at 3 pounds, 2 ounces today this afternoon ahead of Friday’s title bout in Atlantic City.

“Paws is in the best shape of his life,” said trainer Jesus Saeverin. “There’s no way this match lasts longer than four rounds.  Tops.”

While some kitty snuggling analysts have chided Saeverin for providing “bulletin board” material for Paws’ competitor, the kitty has every reason to be confident.  He’s 26-0 in his career and his last five bouts haven’t gone the distance.

Oddsmakers have Paws as a 6-1 favorite.
