You know what would make us the happiest I Can Has Cheezburger editor in the whole world right now, feline fam? A new cat. Do we already have three cats? Yes. Do we always have room for one more? Yes. Do we wish the new cat was a teeny tiny maine coon kitten that is more fluff than body? Absolutely yes. But, Blake, you might say, how would you go about getting a brand new kitten on such short notice? Turns out we have a secret technique that works for capturing new feline friends without even needing the CDS's help.

It's purrfectly easy and diabolically simple. You only need two ingredients for this plan to work: a box (or some other container that a cat will want to squeeze into) and patience. Patience is the hardest part, honestly. Step one is to set out the container in any place where you know cats roam, and the second is to wait until one hops in! We've gathered some pics below of some silly success stories, they're purrfectly hissterical!

  • One thing we admire about cats is that they will never admit when they're wrong. Even after countless fails of trying to fit into their desired container, they'll just flop on top of it and call it a win. Like when we drop a napkin on the ground, and our cat will go lie on it. Why? Because they can.

  • Turns out that the box doesn't even have to be 3D! We don't think this would work for all cats though, just single-brain-celled orange cats and their equally derpy brothers and sisters, black cats. You never know until you try, though!
