What is it about cats and boxes? (November 2023)

Our favorite stray, who we call "Georgie." He regularly eats at our house. We see him up and down the street, sometimes asleep on top of a neighbor's car. We treat him for fleas monthly, putting drops on his neck while his head is in the food bowl. He usually startles for a second, then keeps eating. 

These two and big sister Zephyr on the other hand, seem to sense when it's flea treatment day. They run and hide. Last time, Zephyr hid under the bunkbeds in the sunroom for hours, refusing to come out even for treats!
