This photo of a beautiful blue-eyed cat makes us realize that good things don’t always come in fancy packages…and sometimes the package is actually the best gift. But isn’t that always the case when it comes to cats? No matter how many fancy toys and luxury cat trees you buy them, they always seem to prefer the things they already have…including the sofa, curtains, and chairs.
The beautiful, almost poetic photo came to us via Japanese Twitter user @rin_ragdoll:
▼ “The fluffy cat house cost me 2,500 yen (US$23)
and the one behind that set be back 7,000 yen ($64).
But you like the cardboard box the best? I see…”
ふかふかのにゃんこハウスは2500円したし、一番後ろのねころんは7000円もしたんだよ。
ダンボールが一番好きか〜
そっか〜… pic.twitter.com/houa419BeV— 凛丸-りんまる- (@rin_ragdoll) September 22, 2014
Isn’t that always the case? We purchase expensive items, hoping they will bring us extra happiness, only to find that it’s the free things in life that give us the most joy. Thanks for the life lesson, kitty!
