- Doug is more of a box man/cat himself. When inclined, he will pack
- a gold ball (crumpled bit of potato foil, hours and hours of fun)
- into the box, jump in himself, and play a bit of cat hockey. When
- you're sure he's going to be rendered unconcious from all the banging,
- he leaps out (this from the same cat who pulls his abused-kitty act
- if you *brush* against him unintentionally).
