Cocoa talks about the box with moving pictures:


“Dear Cocoa,

My pets are very quiet humans.  Then tend to eat a lot, without sharing (can you believe that), and they like to sit in a room staring at a box with a glass covering things that move.  I have seen rather strange things in this box including felines that seem quite content.  I did, at first, try to catch some of these things, but they were protected by the glass.  Can you tell me what this box is?  Will I become one of its inhabitants (this is what I fear the box is-old things my pets no longer want to deal with).

“Dear Worried About The Box,

First of all, the box is, as you have surmised, filled with items that our pets no longer wish to have hanging around.  They put them in these boxes for safe keeping.  The felines that are in the boxes, however, are not real, but stuffed or robotic in nature.  You, my friend, will not end up in the box because you are alive AND you are the ruling force in their lives.  You can chase the things around in the box, but you won’t catch any so why put out the energy.  Of course, if you enjoy it, then have fun.  I have found that when I block the box front from my pets, they tend to pay more attention to me and cuddle me on their laps.  Try this trick for a bit of cuddle time.
