Hi all,
A couple of months ago I received an item packaged in a cardboard box.
I usually leave a new box available to Pallina for a while, she likes it for a few days, then she loses interest in it and the box goes to the waste.
This time this box is absolutely fantastic in her opinion, she never leaves it, sleeps in it, rests and relaxes in it, she rarely leaves it, only to eat and use the litter tray.
In the last few weeks she is unwell and this box has become a place for refuge, a shelter against whatever she thinks is bothering her.
Until before this box arrived, she would stay with us on the couch at night, or was interactive, would stay with us at lunch and dinner, and so on.
Now she only wants to stay in that box, it's an obsession, and I think this is changing her behaviour and the way she interacts with us and the world around her.
So, should I remove this box for good?
I fear that she could get stressed and feeling sicker than she is, I fear that her conditions might worsen, but I don't want that this box becomes the only interesting and most important thing in her life...
What would you do?
The box is long and she's able to hide at the bottom. Her squint eyes are because she's not totally well in these days and because she doesn't love to be photographed...
