I wrote a recent post suggesting that when you leave your cat alone, consider providing a security blanket to keep her calm and comfortable. I often toss a recently worn, unwashed garment on the bed for Lily and Sophie. When I get home, I can tell it has been used\u2014laid on, pawed, trampled, rolled ![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.matilijapress.com\/catscapades\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/catblacktonguecafe-e1528807342377-225x300.jpg\")
on and probably very much appreciated.<\/p>\n

Last week I read that a cardboard box is also helpful to quell any kitty-cat anxiety while you\u2019re gone for any length of time. Cats do love boxes and cupboards, cabinets, drawers, baskets\u2026 Have you ever unintentionally closed your cat in a closet? It\u2019s easy to do because cats enjoy exploring, especially in dark, cozy places behind doors that are usually closed.![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.matilijapress.com\/catscapades\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/lilydrawersmall-225x300.jpg\")

boxes, however, some cats will even squeeze into a tiny box just because it\u2019s a box and cats like boxes. I\u2019d love to see pictures of your cat enjoying her box or basket experience. Some cats will even climb into a shoe, baseball cap, helmet, dishwasher, refrigerator, you name it!!!<\/p>\n
