Many too small boxes and Maru
This video demonstrates what happens when a box-loving cat is presented with boxes of various sizes. I am, apparently, quite easily amused.

1. OMG that is hilarious
Stubborn kitteh! "It's a box! I must fit!"

This is the smallest box our dear departed Dilbert ever fit in--he was like Maru--if it was a box, he was going to cram his ass into it:

2. That is a comment on conditioning for worse and worse situations.
Edited on Sun Nov-14-10 08:50 AM by RandomThoughts
However what people do not understand is that any unacceptable situation is the same as any other, and it is not conditioning, it is the same comment from the beginning, it is not about the cardboard box, or getting use to worse or smaller worlds as things are removed from your perspective or life. It is about not changing what you feel is right by threats or examples of removal. Things have been removed from me unjustly for years, if not decades, but it is not about what they can take, if they can not defend why they do it, until then, they are still on page one, they have not yet even defended the first thing to be wrongly taken, so nothing else after that has any meaning anyways.

So it does not matter if your situation changes, if it did, then in my situation, I would not have stood up for what I could defend as right, and was not argued against years ago, knowing that some have the power, but not the right, to take away from someone.

And as they think they are conditioning you to less and less, you simply let them know, it has never been about what you get, or have, or could have, but about what you can best think is who you want to be and how you want to act.

So if anything, the cat is conditioning the experimenters that what they think they can take, they can not take, since what they have control over is not what is who you really are. Hence why they try to use what they control to change you, since the only way they can change you is to get you to value what they can control, some material things. If they can not get you to want those things more then the choice of what you think is right, then they can't do anything.


Although it is funny, and they can't take that either. :D

Although it is not a conditioning to get used to less, it is an attempt to get you to care about more so much that you will sell off what you choose to be.

3. Do you over-analyze about everything?

4. Hard to answer that, since the topic is relative
The question is relative to what is considered a normal level of introspection on topics. That is different for different people. However I can say what I consider to be over analyze I usually do not post, and just post the more basic obvious stuff.

5. Did you see "America's Cutest Cat" on Animal Planet last night?
That cat Maru was featured in 2 of the top 5 videos--and was picked #1 in one of them, playing in 2 diet soda boxes!

9. I love Maru. He's awesome.

I've been informed that "maru" is Japanese for "round." Which he is.
