That’s my daughter below, in a photo taken years ago. It’s a cardboard box, but to her it was a house. Her house. On the very day I taped the roof up, cut holes for windows and doors, and put it out in the yard, within minutes a neighbourhood cat came by, backed its butt almost against the wall of it, and sprayed.
