The Glorious Return Of Box Cat

Box cat is back! Today! Just now! And this one is just as good as his classics, but with a bigger box and a whole new technique. Wait for it...

LOL from 1:18 on. I really believe that this cat is obsessed with boxes! Speaking of cats, I learned last night that they're obsessed with earwax. Do with that what you will. (Box cat's previous hits are little box, and slightly bigger little box.) (Via Cajun Boy, who obviously subscribes to box cat videos or he wouldn't have found this so quick. Caught!)

I like the fake-out at 1:49. I was obviously expecting him to come flying out of the box again, but nope. Made me laugh.

It's that kind of narrative restraint that separates box cat from lesser internet cat videos. Also, the stubby tail.

That cat has mad hops. He could probably play for a Division 3 college basketball team.

Seeing this box cat video brought me back to my first few days of videogum-obsession. And it was really nice. Such great memories, and we're making new ones everyday. Box Cat

You willingly pressed play on a video that was explicitly described as "cat in a box," and now you complain about your time being wasted.

Also, you would have only wasted those two minutes anyway.

how does maru know she's had her fill of the box and thus it is time to leave? I want to know.

I think that for Maru, the thrill isn't being in the box. The thrill is in jumping out of the box.
