Warning: it has hideous music. But, it does go somewhere towards validating the "return to the womb" theory you have expressed. ;) I just came across this little YouTube moment and had to share.

Now that is a <em>good</em> cat name! So you've observed the same phenomenon in toddlers? Interesting... maybe it's a "mammal thing" then? The cardboard box could represent a Freudian desire to return to the womb. I wondered (in the case of cats anyway) if it had anything to do with the thermal properties of cardboard, but that's a much less interesting theory ;-) Unit? Now that is a good cat name!

So, I relate to this photograph of Bess. As for your question, here's my answer based on Unit's favourite choices: Box must have a maximum of 1cm chin resting space on one side, remaining 3 sides must be exactly the measurements of said cat. And this could lead on to other box related questions, such as: Why, no matter how fantastically flash your present may be, a toddler <em>only</em> ever seems to get maximum enjoyment out of the scruffy old cardboard box you wrapped it in??
