No matter how small the box, Hailey will try to snuggle up in it. She’s the cutest mandarin orange I’ve ever seen!

Just try not to eat that orange. It looks a little hairy. I have a cat that is 17 and still finds the smallest box to fit in.
BOX-FUZZ
My first pet was a long haired tucedi kitty kity just like her
Too cute! I don’t think she’s quite a tuxedo though. Correct me if I’m wrong. I have a tuxedo cat and she’s all black except for a white chest, feet, whiskers and a little on her tummy. Somebody give us the low down on a tuxedo’s markings. Haily is adorable anyways! I love fluffy cats. I’ve never had a fluffy cat except in fostering.
P.S. Check out my new & improved link below. Thanks !
I believe any kitty who is black and white is considered a tuxedo. She is adorable! I’ve had a two named Casper 1 and 2 and a female named Silly that looked like that. They were all very loveable.
Very nice Kat1, and you have MY kitty up there, so that makes it even better!!
Jeff, I love your springer! I’m assuming that’s a feather sticking out of his mouth!
Nice idea Kat1! I will send you a Gheeri Pic!
Thank you, yes the feather was from “the one that got away”. We had him neutered just after that, and he settled down some, wasn’t “as” interested in catching and killing everything that moved.
Jeff, I love your cat. Very cute.
It’s great that your cat looks like he/she is wearing a tux. But Tux means Black and white. Not grey, calli-co, or anything else, just monocomatic
Kat1 I LOVE your link!
I had a landlady who had 3 cats she called Tuxedo
Cats, and their bodies were black, they all had a white stripe down their nose, but one had a mustache, and one a gautee(SP?), and I think 2 had white chests. My Emily looks like Hailey, only with short hair…With horses, Emily’s markings would be called “a pie-bald pinto”!
Oops, didn’t realize until it was too late that I misspelled tuxedo
I already know to not drink ‘n’ drive, even if it’s just one drink, I apparently shouldn’t drink and type either 
Coming back and looking at that pic again makes me want to go looking for a longhair tuxedo kitty that needs a home
*checks link* Hm, will have to send in some submissions of my own
*ap-PEEL-ling FUZZ*
Hailey is just beautiful.
I found my kitty KIARA asleep half-inside my sneaker once. The poor thing tried to get all the way in, but just couldn’t fit. The only thing outside was a tiny bum and tail.
Now she sleeps with her head on the sneaker!
Kitties are sooo cute!
Booooo! Bad pun alert!!!!
What! … I thought that was pretty good …
I thought it was cute too!
lol, it was baaad!
AWWWWW kitty in box i want pat her!!! my big kittys to fat to fit in box’s but he tries to anyway aswell…all his fat hangs out the sides =p

You too! Don’t know if you went back and read the post again but you had quite a response! Have a great day!
lovely cat ! love pic! so cute….very fluffy…she hasnt been in the dryer has she??
….missed yesterday’s location post madness… I am from north of Scotland!
My husband is Scottish! Our boys have Scottish names. My hubby was born in Texas but still got the chance to visit the clan estate in Achnacarry, Scotland. That’s in the Highlands.
She looks like she’s wearing a Harlequin mask, trying to appear incognito. Very fuzzy cat. How’s your vacuum holding up with all that cat hair?
I love the half-black, half-white face!
*Phantom of the Opera* Fuzz!!!!
I saw PotO when I was in London in ‘95
I wonder where Rosie is…
My Gheeri likes to sleep in plastic shopping bags. Whenever we come home from Publix or Wal-mart or Target-the second the stuff is out of the bags, she’s in! (But she will not tolerate the bag being picked up while in it.)
Please be careful with plastic bags. Cats can suffocate.
My cats love them as well.. I sometimes ask for paper bags for my cats..
What is it with cats and boxes and bags?
lol, yes, I know. When I catch her in one, I let her play for a while, then shoo her out of it (much to her disdain, which she lets me know just how much she hates when I do that by “baa-ing” at me) Shes my sheepy-girl. Actually, intact bags are a rare commodity because the first thing she does is make pizza dough, which in turn…. well you get the point.
OH! Gheeri makes a beeline for the drawers whenever we are in the dresser-does anyone elses’ cats do this? It’s soooo hard to get her out without taking the whole drawer out !
My Emma does that. Drives me bananas! My kitten…well, not a kitten anymore I guess, 8 mo. old (who weighs almost 9lbs already!), Benji, is obsessed with mittens and socks. So, when I leave my son’s underwear drawer open far enough, he will stick his paw in and carry off a mitten or sock. I find it later in the kitchen or upstairs! He especially likes my son’s blue & white mittens. Stinker! Love u Benji & Emma!!
My cat Sam used to carry off laundry all the time; his favorites were socks and undies, which he left in a “trail” down the hall and into the living room! He used to meow loudly just as he was doing this. When we were away from home, he did this even more, so we’d enter to a mass of undies and socks! Now, he’s tired of that game, so he mostly naps and hits his tail against something if he’s upset or wants attention…
Isn’t it weird the stunts cats do to make us notice them?
Geoffrey will get into any drawer that’s open far enough. If the drawer is open only a crack, he’ll stick in a paw. He also likes to get into cupboards, but he opens those all by himself.
lol, great! I’m not they only one with a “closet” kitty! Gheeri opens the linin closet and tucks herself way in the back, on top of the nice, clean, soft towels (smart, aren’t they?!)
My cat likes to sleep in the laundry baskets, and when he’s feeling playful he will try to hide inbetween them (he can’t quite accomplish this anymore as he’s a huge 13 pound kitty) and hunt like a moray eel.
How did that wedding thing go?? Hope it went well.
Since we’re talking about silly cat behavior…does anyone’s cat wag their tail when happy? Excuse the comparison all kitties, but like a dog? I know I’m not the only one. My Emma has done this since I started fostering her (I then adopted her, obviously!). She does it when she’s happy to see me and the tip of her tail as she wags it, touches her left side then her right at about 10 miles per hour! It’s just too funny!!
My spot does. Jake does once in a while.
Danielle - Did u get my e-mail?
I got it this morning. Thank you!!!!!!!!
Meeko used to do that…..
Yes, Casper’s tail seems to always be going. When he’s mad it thumps very loudly if he’s laying on the entertainment center. Not so loud when he’s content. I think the only time it’s not wagging is when he’s asleep. Sometimes just the tip is just moving. I was wondering if any other cat did that, now I know.
one of our girls does that. The other girl was hit by a car and can’t feel the tip. I like to hold that part and watch her try to figure out why she cant move. Its mean but really funny.
I forgot to say her name is Casper.
My cat Jazzy does that…she does it in her sleep too!!!!
All of our cats love the laundry, cupboards, drawers, anything they can get into. Or if anything is left open.
Jazzy tries to open doors..she’s really cute when she tries to attack the door!!!! She’ll also put her paw underneath the door when it’s closed and she wants to come in!!!! She goes on top of the iguana cage sometimes too..(And it’s pretty big..it’s roof is about 3-5 feet away from the ceiling)
so my cats are the only ones who like closets as well, i thought they were just freaks LOL. we open a closet and we have to do dodge kitteh. or they open them. i wake up so many times at night hearing cat claws pulling open a closet x.x
erm AREN’T sorry typo!
LOL! One of my favorite pictures of Geoffrey is the one where he’s lounging on a red towel inside the linen cupboard. He’s gray, so the red sets off his coat very nicely. I suspect he knew that!
Bags, boxes…if it can be gotten into, a cat will try it! I caught mine in the dryer once, just after I’d unloaded it. Came back to shut the door and there she was, washing her belly!
Hailey is just beautiful. I love long-haired kitties, haven’t had one in years.
You just want to grab her & bury your fingers in all that adoreable fluffins!!!!
She’s a pretty one! Fluffy and sweet.
It’s the newest take out sensation - ktten in a box! Very cute
OMG—SHE LOOKS JUST LIKE MY EMILY! AND EVERYONE IS CORRECT ABOUT THE CAT HAIR—SOMEHOW I EVEN MANAGE TO BRING IT ON MY CLOTHES AND TRANSFER IT TO MY CHAIR AT WORK! A SMALL PRICE TO PAY FOR THE LOVE OF A CAT, EH??
Her white mustache makes her look like she’s smiling. Maybe she is, huh?! She’s smiling for the camera.

she looks like the british cat Humphery who just died…but she is really cute!
She looks almost exactly like my cat. My daughter named him Oreo after the cookie, but his nickname is B because he is such a sweet beebee (baby). I love long haired cats because they are extra fluffy. I had a himalayan named Bear and a true tuxedo cat named Isabelle. They are both in Kitty heaven now, but they lived long lives and their pictures are in small frames in my shadow box on the wall. We never forget our fuzzy babies.
Clarify for me Karen, what is a true tuxedo’s markings?
Well, I thought it was just as you described it, with specific markings: all black except for the feet, chest, and tummy–so that it looks like the cat it wearing a tuxedo–not just any black and white cat. After reading all the comments, I guess people have different ideas about it. I also thought that “calico” and “tortoiseshell” were interchangeable. I do know that all tortoiseshell cats are female because the gene for that color is on the X chromosome. The only way a male cat can be a tortoishelle is if it has Kleinfelter’s Syndrome–which means he has an extra X chromosome. I’ve read that in more than one of my books on cats
P.S. I found it very interesting to see all the different places where people are from. I’m in Louisville, KY.
My husband is from Louisville KY. although he has been out here in California longer. Cleopatra looks a lot like Hailey but she has more white on her face.
you just wanna wrap her up with a big bow, too cute ^^
i have a question a bit off the subject. we just got a new kitten a few weeks ago. Now she’s torti dark, but with white paws, so is she a torti? or is she just a dark calico? I don’t know which it is LOL, she’s my first calico/torti whatever it is lol. Ty much.
The definition of a calico is a tortoiseshell with patches of white. If JUST the paws are white, it’s a tortie. Otherwise, it’s a calico, or tortie-and-white. As for tuxedos, if I’m wrong, I’m wrong, but from what I learned, tuxedos are only to be black-and white. (because most tuxedos are that color, except white ones, in which case, i guess you can also call white cats tuxedoes!
)
Ahhhhh ok, well her paws and under her chin down to a bit of her belly is white, the rest is all dark brown, medium brown, and tannish. So that makes her calico, thank you! lol i’ve been wondering since we got her!
Hey Bagheera, tuxido cats, according to Wikipeda is:To be considered a “tuxedo”, its black coloring should be solid through out, with white limited to the paws, belly, chest, throat, and possibly the chin. The tuxedo name is just that. It should appear as if the cat is wearing a tuxedo.
Oh, bty the kitty is adorable!
Regards from Montreal, Canada (brrrrrrr it is still cold here! but this site warms me up:-)))
So cute! Was she having a little nap?
Our gigantic cat always tries to get into any box also, no matter how small! His sister, an addled tortoise shell, likes to sleep in a small flat round basket that hardly holds her.
My sisters cats pee on plastic shopping bags, so you are lucky.
She is beautiful.
I have been told that a tuxedo cat is all one color except around the front of its neck, and on it’s belly and usually the tip of their paws, that will be all white, so if she/he were standing on their hind legs, it would look like they have on in the case of my tuxedo kitty, a grey jacket, with a white shirt underneath.
That cat has too much fur! PTOOeww!
My Dash does the peeing on plastic bags thing. I have to keep them all hidden away. But you know, it’s not that big a flaw really.
I’m from Arizona, btw
I have also found it interesting how many different places are repesented from people that have connected to this web site.
TOTALLY OFF THE SUBJECT:
as I’m sitting here at work listening to the radio, I noticed something… About 75% of the commercials are about plastic surgery! Is this everywhere or just in Miami? I guess the year-round beach weather is making people obsessed…
The poster who lives in LA doesn’t count! Everyone there is obsessed!
What a cute fluff ball—I love the pink nose with the black spot–My Polly is black & white with a pink nose—love those pink noses—you just wanna kiss it!! Both Polly and Helen love open drawers, paper bags and as soon as I take the laundry out of the dryer and put it in a pile to fold they are both diving into it!!!

I noticed on your blog site that you are a sagittarius and was wondering if you would disclose your birthdate. I am also a sagittarius, my birthday is Dec. 5th.
Dec. 18, a week before C-mas!
Thank you for answering. December is a full month of birthdays for us. Our son’s is December 12th, daughter-in-law is December 7th and grandson’s is December 22nd, and mine.
How do I send you a picture of my kitty? Went to you site, made a comment, but now I would like to send you a picture of my little girl.
Let me know! Thanks…
Linda
She has an email address on the website you can email her a picture.
You can send me pics at kats2boyz@yahoo.com. Thanks!
Hailey is a beautiful kitty!! I love long hairs, they are so pretty.
We have two long haired cats. Gizmo, which is suppose to be my daugther’s cat is long haired and Cleopatra. Patches and Casper are short haired. Our daughter moved out and left Gizmo here so I guess you can say he’s mine now. When she comes over he doesn’t want anything to do with her.
My understanding is that a tuxedo cat looks as if it’s wearing a tuxedo–black jacket over white shirt. White tie and spats are optional. Tail is de rigueur, of course. My James also has a white upside-down valentine on his nose. In any case there should be no white on the “jacket” part. Hailey is a spotted fluff-cat, and a beauty at that.
You sure she doesn’t want you to change her name to Satsuma?
……………….*AHEM*……………………………………..I think there’s a kitty attached to those whiskers??!…………………………………………….
does ANYONE know why Rosie always says ‘ahem’?
What a cute lil furball! Looks like a ball of fur with a head attached! I can’t imagine having a cat with all of that fur.
Ella loves to play in bags too. Sometimes she’ll get wrapped in the handles and will walk around with the bag hanging off her until I take it off. Which is usally after I’m done laughing at her.
Kat, Casper, I’m a sagittarius too! My birthday is Dec 6
Go sagittarians! LOL
Oh and I’m from Detroit, MI (missed the post yesterday)
I just think thats Rosie’s way of saying hello. I think its cute! I can always tell when Rosie or Rita post, but the way they start the conversation!
This kitty is such a furball of fun! Love how cats get in all kinds of crazy places. Kiss kiss.
…..I think this fuzz has a clump of black hair hanging off it’s chin……………………………………….
*GOATEE* *FUZZ*
If it’s black hair on it’s neck, sorry! I can’t tell from the photo…fuzzaduzzduzzand-a-duzzduzzdaduzz.
Haileys’ whisker pouches look like humungous marshmellows!!
obviously people have plastic surgery because they feel so inferior to cats, who are such perfectly formed creatures!
I find the use of the word *fuzz* amusing. When I was a kid…so long ago, it was a hippie term for “the police.”
Hi Alice, I hadn’t thought about the word fuzz and police til you just said it!! Yea, that was the term when I was a “kid” too! Now all we need is a kitty in a police hat and Fuzz will be complete. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!
OK, you guys are really showing your age!!!
*Citrus Fuzz*
what is it with cats & boxes - ours love ‘em - always curious
Awww! Her black and white spots make her look a little like a cow! Except a lot cuter!!:)
It looks like she’s saying “What??!”
I’m sorry I meant to make that smiley a happy face smiley with the tongue.
Haily is so cute!!!!I have cat and her nickname is teenteen.She tries to find the smallest box in the house and goes in it.Sometimes she gets stuck but she gets out fine after a little while!!!!
i have many cats and do fostering.i have a cat named Honey that just loves to sleep in a shoe boxs.
What a sweet ball of fluff! My cats love little boxes too - and the only thing better than a box is a box with a towel in it.
What an adorable fluff ball!
ooh sweet kitty they always like boxes my one cat always try to get into the boxes i ship my husband care packings over sea now she won’t get off his lap…..
Makes you just want to squeezzzz her!!!!
She is so cute.
Pretty Kitty! Must feel safe and secure in that box!
Beautiful cat! I think Rosie says “ahem” because she has to clear her throat — all that cat fuzz and dander, you know! My love favors my kids’ book bags and luggage for sleeping spots.
I have one that does the same thing…He will find the smallest shoe box or any type of box and sleep in it
*OREO* FUZZ
VERY CUTE , THANKS
No tot repeat anything that anyone else said (I don’t read 99% of the posts) she’s not a mandarin orange. She’s a tuxedo, or in simple terms, a B&W.
She is a beauty. Just like my handsome guy (who got lost), “Neo”.
She is SOOOOO cute in that box!!! She has the same name as me!! Have fun with her
YOUR CAT IS SOOOOOOOOO ADORABLE AND IS FUNNY TOO’
like my fiends cat; Mooch!
hee hee! i love cats in boxes. we have so many around here it always cracks me up when my biggest cats squish into the tiniest box. LOL.
