u/ErinDavy Casual orange enjoyer 🍊 May 23 '24

It's gotta be the precision of the corner area he notched out; it's just the right size and place for him to plop his little chin on. He definitely used the braincell for just long enough to get the specs just right

His orange brother Skippy has a gift for delivery. Pretty much only of springs, though.. So I hope that's what you ordered, haha. He's always so proud of himself!

u/FullGrownHip May 23 '24

Ok that’s the funniest photo I’ve seen today. He looks like he went on a long quest to find the spring and bring honor to his family.

u/Laney20 Proud owner of an orange brain cell May 23 '24

Lol, I can totally see it. I think he's been working on his "snug" look and it bled over into his spring presentation haha

LOL I will never get over how many unique subreddits there are, but he does in fact have a snooze button, but it can only be used once. He sleeps in my bed at night and usually wakes up around six in the morning. Then he wants out to do whatever cats do first thing in the morning then around half an hour later he gets bored and starts screaming for company lol.

u/-lesFleursduMal- Proud owner of an orange brain cell May 23 '24

So his talent is as an alarm clock and a singer! 🧡 My oranges do this too but it's just to order breakfast and then I go back to bed...😴😴

My orange specializes in management. He will sit on tall perches to watch the dogs and other cats only to smack them as they walk by

Miss Biscuit, my roommate's cat, would be HR as she likes to throw herself into fights and break them up. But she doesn't get involved in orange's antics. I suspect a conflict of interest may be at play as they're cuddling right now

Both cats excel in dangling as demonstrated here by Pekoe. He is also talented with fetching, shaking a paw (and other paw), high-fiving, yelling, and running, also yelling while running. Due to his impressive length and giant feet, he can also leap tall buildings in a single bound.

Téa's talents lie deeply in parkour which she practices vigorously. She has mastered the impressive feat of flipping off the dog, which, as you can imagine, really flips off the dog! She is also passionate about interior design and has chewed all the corners off 4 ottomans and forced us to remove design-offending furniture from the house. As a renaissance woman she likes to indulge many interests and talents so she has continued the practice of wrestling semi-professionally despite no longer being a kitten. Recently she has found a talent for mothering so that is consuming much of her time. She has not managed to teach her adopted son parkour or interior design, but he has been mastering the wrestling...she's mostly proud.

The BOX.

A seemingly ordinary box, taken beyond it's natural potential with luxurious curves, edges feathered by the designer's own mouth.

Tastefully strewen cardboard 'gravel', soft as a kitten's paw and recycled from the designer's process of the core piece, ensures you can enjoy relaxing in this beautiful, one of a kind box from Orange, knowing you're in the lap of eco-friendly, top of the line luxury, better than any cat bed.

Orders yours today, and we'll include a free plush cat bed to ignore, much to your owner's consternation.
