Today I brought home a box from school. It’s a copier paper box. My daughter is supposed to be using it to sort some stuff that has formed a pile on the radiator in our dining room. But my daughter had too much homework to face this task tonight, so the box just sat.
That is, it just sat until the cats found it. Now, one cat stands guard while the other jumps in and out of the box. Then they switch roles, and the jumper becomes the guard while the guard becomes the jumper.
Tomorrow, I will bring home a second box for my daughter to sort some stuff that has formed a pile on the radiator in our dining room. This one? It belongs to the cats.

This is great! I love the title, and I love the ending.
This is the perfect definition of a Slice – noticing something that might otherwise go unnoticed and capturing it in writing. The image of the two cats taking turns is so vivid, too.
Great, great Slice.

It belongs to the cats! Yes…because no one wants to face the wrath of such creatures.
