If you have a cat or if you know your cats a little closely, you already know it: you can give them any acrobatic game but if there is one thing that drives them crazy and unleashes them, it is a cardboard box. It becomes their kingdom - it doesn't matter if you've bought a super-equipped luxury kennel they like spartan and with the unmistakable smell of paper - they jump on it, nibble on it, play with it, go in and out. Many cat lovers in the house keep boxes for them in a corner, perhaps asking the shopkeeper under the door for them. For a cat it is truly irresistible to slip into cardboard boxes.
And it is an ecological and recycling practice, even if the cat is not aware of it, it is good to know and adapt! On the occasion of the international day of the cat, on August 8, COMIECO (National Consortium for the Recovery and Recycling of Cellulose-based Packaging) invites cat owners to suspend - but only for one day! - the separate collection of cardboard boxes, instead disseminating them at home and transforming them into temporary shelters, obstacle courses and makeshift scratching posts for their little “domestic tigers”.
They are pastimes and DIY games that are easy to make by reusing paper and cardboard packagingsuch as cartons, shopping bags, boxes and tubes of different sizes (the central part of toilet paper rolls and kitchen paper, for example). There are numerous tips and video tutorials on the web on the subject: making holes of different sizes in the boxes and combining them together create paths and hiding places; then adding twine, balls and dried legumes (but also the croquettes themselves) you can create small rattles or “intelligent” and interactive games; by cutting and folding a box you can make a real cardboard strap for the cat of the house ; and much more.
How to dispose of what remains, guaranteeing an efficient recycling chain and thus allowing the paper to come back to life)?
Here are simple instructions:
1. remove the cat;
2. flatten the boxes;
3. eliminate the scotch tape;
4. eliminate the staples;
5. place them in the paper container.
