I've always wondered if cats wonder why we're always more interested about what is in or on the box when it's really the box itself that provides all the entertainment.
And how is it that the pic I submit of my cat actually holding a 'paw' of cards and gesturing defiantly while in a box, gets denied as "not game related" So who do I need to "secret" santa this year to get some results?
Okay, cleavage shot gets an obligatory one thumb, minus one thumb for a cat pic yields a net thumb result of zero. However since the cat is a kitten and it is color coordinated with the outfit I will revise my previous result and grant one thumb.
It's always been my assumption that women are cat lovers and men are dog lovers. However, given the popularity of cats on this site and the strong majority of males that populate this site, it makes me wonder.
But, then again, everyone here is a geek and is therefore not normal.
I always have bad memories when I see cats in boxes. Many cats have sat in my game boxes, and each one has viciously attacked me for reasons spanning from: attempting to retrieve box, to sitting too close to said box, to no reason at all.

i did not know they did sex changes on cats , i wonder , since acording to some talk show that was on the tv several years ago said the human sex change capital of the world is supposed to be some tiny little town in colorado , where is the cat sex change capital of the world ?
There is a psychological theory (to which I subscribe) that men who hate cats do so because subconsciously cats represent their feminine side. Cats are very feminine animals and the sort of boys that torment, kick, torture cats probably grow to be raging homophobes later on.
So here's something to consider next time you feel that unwarranted hatred of cats welling up inside you. If you post comments to reflect such thoughts you may be revealing more of your inner personality that you would care to. It's kind of like your mental slip is showing.

What a wonderfully silly theory.
I hate cats because they are horrible little hell spawns.

Oh yeah, that must be it. Or, you know, it could just be that he was making a joke. Although, I guess I would rather "validat" my "existance" by making jokes in a forum as opposed to being preachy and spiritually condescending in a thread that features a fucking cat in the box. Grand Inquisitor indeed.
Yeah, we got cats in this thread, geeks, homophobes, cat-haters, boobs, some other stuff, now we just need God, atheists, some health care debate, a dash of Muslims, sprig of Iraq, and a few talking-head show host personalities to round it out.
Guess I better go buy some Reynolds Wrap fashion a little hat out of because GLENN BECK WAS RIGHT!!!

ya cause as we all know cruelty to animals is always funny , i'm sure you must have cried why Vick went to jail for that laugh out loude riot of dog fighting .
and my comment had nothing to do with spirituality , but since the general arguement for the athiest movement is based on refusing to believe anything untill it is proven , that by it's definition is a lack of faith in anything . so how can you have any depth in life if you dont believe in anything untill some one proves it to you , and thus cruelty to anilmals becomes a point of humor rather than something to be discouraged because there is no personal reason to find it wrong .
by your arguement , people who post pictures of their children here or anywhere should also be content to have inappropriate comments posted about them or other children in general aswell be it sexual or otherwise , its all ok by you as long as SOMEONE thinks its funny .

Geeks fall more toward "women" than "man" in almost every way. The geekier the guy the more woman-like he is; well without all the cool stuff like tits and all that.
I love games, but if I ever needed my kids to be rescued from a burning building I'll take one of those macho, cleavage-loving, brutish, neaderthal types over a gamer anyday.
NOT the right time for AP or a discussion about which child will yeild the most VPs once the fire is out!

That was a terrible, unconnected, train-wreck of thoughts....
This looks like the beginning of a beautiful new board wargame. Nazi Adolph Cats, Evil Dark-Cat, Puss-n-BOOBS, Athiests, religious fanatics, WG-GEEKS, homophobes, cat-haters, cat-lovers, health care debaters, a dash of Muslims fundelmentalist, add some topless women and the map can be IRAQ.
maybe add some disgruntled wives and postal workers and have Steve Jackson Games print it out. maybe it'll be game of the year.

Cleavage? there's cleavage?????
Wouldn't you love to be a cat. They apparently can fall asleep anywhere... (and get away with it)

I was involved in a similar conversation about men and women, and cats and dogs. The theory we were kicking around was that men prefer dogs because they have more in common with the "traditional" female personality: loyal, affectionate, submissive,and eager to please. Conversely, men dislike cats because they have more male personality traits: independent, demanding, expectations of being catered to, and affectionate only on their own terms.
It isn't that some of use don't like cat-in-boxes, it just isn't anything worth posting IMHO.
I have two cats. Both of them will sit in a bag, box, or any other container that is left out. In short: it it what cats do and there is nothing un-ordinary about it.
It is the equivilant of posting a picture of a fish in a bowl of water, or my dog taking a dump on my lawn.
That being said if people want to post pictures of cats doing the things cats do, by all means go ahead. I am not saying it is worth getting worked up about. To each his own, but I like the snake pic myself!
It isn't that some of use don't like cat-in-boxes, it just isn't anything worth posting IMHO.
It also isn't that some of us don't like cat-in-boxes, it's just that some of us are deathly allergic to cats. If you can say that you've woken up in the middle of the night, with the feeling of a vise clamped around your windpipe, where you've had to immediately flee to outside of your friends house, in your underwear, completely buckled over in their front lawn, desperately gasping for pockets of oxygen, then you know what I mean.
I've always said 'Who would wreck a perfectly good house by bringing a cat into it'.
In this case, someone has wrecked a perfectly good game (one of my favorite games) by contaminating the box it gets contained in.
Now if the cat had been sitting in a Space Hulk (third edition) box, well then I may have given the o' .

Nice! Maybe you better start wearing PJ's when staying at a friends house with a cat! With camera phones everyone it is just a matter of time before you are a YouTube star
I do disagree with your comment about the cat sitting in a Space Hulk (third edition) box though. Even though cats are as annoying as deer flys in the summer, I have to much respect for any living thing to make it be by a copy of that game. Maybe my dog taking a dump in a Space Hulk (third edition) box would be more fitting?
This cat clearly knows what its doing. That coy glance back over its shoulder, you just know its thinking to itself "This is guaranteed to get me onto BoardGameGeek. Probably get a tonne of thumbs to boot". I suspect that it may be a professional cat in the box.
Cats are very useful indicators to the state of a person's mental health by the way. In regards to determining someone's cat ownership/sanity levels, use the following criteria:-
No Cats = Sane One Cat = Bit Strange More Than One Cat = Bonkers
