Cocoa talks about the big box humans live in--


“Dear Cocoa,

I have been an outside cat all my life, roaming from one family to another and moving on when I wish.  I have often wondered about the human population.  Why do they choose to live in such huge boxes?  Doesn’t it take a long time to heat up with their body heat, especially since they don’t have much fur to speak of?  I mean, unless I have crawled into their huge bed and under the heavy clothes they use, I can’t get ever get warm.  I prefer it outside where I can crawl into a hole in the dirt and stay warm.

“Dear Cold While Inside,

You are correct that it takes time for the human body heat to warm the large boxes that they use; however our pets believe that they need a lot of things to survive.  They can’t carry that stuff when they are traveling around, so they use the box to store them.  I personally feel that they should just grab some of that cloth they use to cover themselves and hunt like we do.  They would be much happier that way; however, they may not fit in some of the holes that we do.  And they don’t have sharp claws and teeth like we do.  Perhaps it is better for them to use the big boxes after all.
