Did curiousity really kill the cat??

This is MewMew curious as to what is in the box.
Well we the cats, decided to do some research about this subject because we didn't want to be dead. Life is too much fun. So we have discovered that the say 'curiosity killed the cat' is just a very old saying. Although it does seem like some of the things we ge curious about are in the dangerous zone.
Originally the saying came from 'care killed the cat' meaning care as in "worry" or "sorrow". In other words, care is a warning that worry is bad for your health. And so the saying became that cats were very careful and cautious, and so over time, the word became curiousity. We feel like there probably has been some cats that were killed by their curiosity, but we are pretty smart kitties and in general are very careful. So it seems after much research, that this saying is just silly.

And she couldn't stand it, she had to see what is in there.
We are a very curious animal but one of the reasons we are that way, is because our natural way is to search for our own food and in order to do that, we have to be aware of different sounds and smells that may lead us to some yummy food. For example, like I bet all you kitties know that sound of the treat bag crackle. Or know what time it is time to eat. When cats live outside, and have to find their own food, they know about the smell of birds and mice and what noises they make.

Harley's lip ulcer is much better now that he has been on the prednisone. It looks like it is going to take a very long time for his missing claw to grow back.
Cute photos!
Cats are always curious ;)

In any case, my kitties sit on all my reference books, and all their curiosity does them no harm at all! But a box, now that's a reason for a day of exploration!
And speaking of reading... I started Buckley last night, and I swear I'm almost halfway done with it! Such a sweet story.
It is good to know that not only cats but everyone can continue to feed their curiosity without having to worry about dying.
Thanks for posting this!
By the way, what was in the box??
Thanks for the information about curiosity and the cat!
Oh, and we also wanted to thank you for your offer to post some of the PAWS kitties on your blog. That is SO nice of you! I will check with our shelter director about this; I know we have a policy of only adopting to people "within reasonable driving distance of Norwalk, Conn.," but hey, you never know who might be reading your blog, right? It could be someone who *does* live around here. :)
Thanks again. We love your blog, and appreciate your friendship!

And, yes I probably am too cautious with mine. They are house kitties because I live too close to a deadly road. Someday I'll have a home in the country where they can get out - climb tress - chew on grass and roam ...
