Oh shit, Atom Eyes, that is funny.
Thanks for the hugs. One of my loved ones died of cancer yesterday. We were expecting it, and frankly it's a relief that he's no longer in pain. We were prepared for it.
This video reminds me of one of the cats we had when I was growing up. She had decided that all paper products are evil and must be destroyed, and would shred any paper left on the floor.
One day, we got a new window for the house, and stored it in the living room temporarily until we had time to install it. There was a label on the glass, but the label side was down. So our cat spent about 40 minutes trying to destroy the label, through the glass, complete with little bink bink bink noises and no effect on it whatsoever.
For all the cunning that animal owners endow their pets with, their stupidity can be tremendous sources of amusement.
It's just young. I'd have that box open in minutes.
This weekend I chewed through the string that the person had used to tie the garbage cupboard doors shut, pulled out the garbage bag, and strewed the garbage all over the kitchen floor so I could get to the styrofoam meat tray that was in the bag. The person was very cross but then as she cleaned it up sighed and said that the kitchen floor really needed scrubbing anyway, so I think she should thank me for giving her the incentive to get to that.
