Cats love boxes. Bring them a gift in a box and they\u2019ll opt for the box as the gift. Most cats are eager to watch you open your deliveries. At our house Olivia and Sophie will practically sniff the tape off a package, then sit guard over it until we finally open it. No, they aren\u2019t eager to see what\u2019s inside, they\u2019re eager to get inside ![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.matilijapress.com\/catscapades\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/LilyBox1-e1557837851899-225x300.jpg\")

But a group of cats in British Columbia have taken their adoration for deliveries even further. They have made claim to the item that was inside the box to the point that they\u2019re keeping their people from using the new Vitamix that came inside.<\/p>\n
The three household cats take turns holding the box (with the Vitamix in it, mind you) hostage. They\u2019ve hijacked it, deemed it their own, and they don\u2019t seem willing to give it up. It\u2019s a cute story with pictures. Enjoy:<\/p>\n
