On Black Friday, Jessica and Nikii Gerson-Neeves bought a blender. It was a Vitamix blender, a professional-grade splurge, and the couple was looking forward to a winter of smoothies and soups.
It arrived on Dec. 16 at their home on Vancouver Island in British Columbia. Jessica put the hefty box down on the floor in the kitchen, just for a second. Her 4-year-old tuxedo cat, Max, otherwise known as the sentient soccer ball, jumped up on the box. Jessica thought it was funny and snapped a photo.
Then Maxs 13-year-old feline siblings, George: Destroyer of Worlds (sentient potato) and Lando Calrissian (the questionably sentient dust bunny,), demanded their turn on the knee-high box.
That was three weeks ago. Since then, the cats have refused to leave the box, fighting over who gets to perch upon it and taking turns standing guard while the others eat or are busy elsewhere. The blender remains ensconced inside.

He didn't want me getting rid of the empty boxes, though.
