why-animals-do-the-thing: @everprosaic and @astralskeleton asked us to take a look at this post. The worry is that the cat is uncomfortable and could hurt itself on the edges of the plastic. Honestly, I’m not overly concerned about what I can tell from this photoset. It’s entirely possible that the cat put itself in the box of it’s own volition - I do know cats that like enclosed spaces, and it would be very hard to force a cat into a box like that. There’s not much in the way of stress signs like face tension, pulled back lips or tight skin around the eyes and the ears are perky and held normally in every photo. Without more context, I’m not too worried. The same goes for the edges of the box. For one, they look pretty flexible, and for two, fur works as a buffer. If the cat was really stuck or was rubbing exposed skin on it’s face against the edges there might be an issue, but just being in contact with them even with some pressure while moving around is likely fine. Thanks for the tag and your concern! It’s a good one to have asked about. -- source link
