*Where to get a box from? There are lots of places offering freebie cartoon boxes: a supermarket, a grocery shop (ask them to save one of their large fruit boxes for you to pick-up — it will be perfect for your cat), a wine shop, a shoe shop.

** How to get a 'willing' cat?Have treats ready to put under the box.

If you have several boxes choose the one large enough for your cat to fit underneath it.

Cut the holes* that you have marked and let your cat go underneath the box.

P.S. Before you start cutting holes, just check if your cat isn't already underneath it ...(my one was!)

Tip. If the head doesn't come out - make the holes wider. Your cat will enjoy sticking its head out of them
