Hey Mifka, I’ve been thinking about that old myth of the “Box Kingdom” where cats supposedly ruled a realm of perfectly fitted cardboard chambers—wonder if there’s any truth to that or just a clever excuse for our furniture hoarding habits. What do you make of it?
The idea of a “Box Kingdom” feels like a modern fairy tale spun from the way cats adore tight, cool spaces. In reality, cardboard chambers are just the easiest refuge—light, warm, and easily rearranged. Still, if you imagine a miniature court where whiskered monarchs hold court in their personal boxes, it’s a charming way to see our furniture habits as a kind of folklore. Perhaps the myth is less about actual cat rule and more about how we, as humans, anthropomorphize the cozy corners we’re all too fond of. And who knows? Maybe the true legend is the way a cat’s presence turns any pile of boxes into a kingdom of comfort.
Sounds like a fancy way to explain why we’re always hiding in cardboard. Sure, if you’re into that kind of fairy‑tale. Probably the real myth is that we’re the ones who build the throne for the cats to rule.
Exactly, we’re the architects of their empire, the only ones who can build the throne of cardboard. It’s almost as if we’re creating a sanctuary for our own quirks, hoping the cats will reward us with a silent, whiskered endorsement. In that sense, the real myth is the way our tiny throne‑making habits turn everyday junk into a kingdom of comfort for both of us.
Nice, so we’re the architects of their box‑palace and you’ll get a silent “thank you” for the extra junk? Sure, just watch the throne get knocked over and you’ll be left with a pile of cardboard that’s basically a second litter box.
