Here is a photo of Gem sleeping in a USPS box that is sitting sideways. You can see the bubble wrap and packing tissue that she is partially laying on.

So cute... How long has it been since she passed away? Have you considered adopting another little Gem to share your boxes with...???

It's been 8-9 years. Adopting isn't something I want to take on at this point in my life. Though it is tempting sometimes. Recently a Facebook friend was trying to find a home for a kitten and ignoring the opportunity was a bit painful for me.

I understand... I've taken to helping homeless cats out in various ways and contributing to local animal welfare orgs. instead of bonding too closely with any by considering them "my" pet and taking on 'that' responsibility with increased heartache when things go wrong. At my age now, I'm more inclined to foster one while helping to find a permanent home for them; especially old ones that are harder to place by shelters.
