It's no secret: cats and boxes are a match made in kitty heaven! But why exactly are our feline friends so obsessed with cardboard hideouts? Let's uncover the purr-fect explanation! Turns out, cats find comfort and security in enclosed spaces – making boxes their ultimate sanctuary. They're not just seeking shelter from predators; boxes also provide a stress-free zone where kitties can observe without being disturbed. Recent research from the University of Utrecht confirms what cat lovers already knew: boxes are essential for helping our furry pals adapt to new environments. From maintaining the purr-fect temperature to offering a cozy retreat, boxes tick all the right boxes for our whiskered companions. So, on this #InternationalBoxDay, why not give your cat the gift of a stress-free move? Move with Magna Thomson, and we'll ensure your kitty has a box (or two) ready and waiting in your new home! https://lnkd.in/dy83p_2v #magnathomson #movingwithpets #movingboxes #movinghouse #internationalmoving #localmoving #movingcompany #movingservices #movers #cats #householdmovers #internationalmovers #localmovers #nationalmoving #transferofpets #cardboardboxes

Starting your week SAFELY: Fall is in full swing, and so is peak deer season! With increased wildlife activity during the season, you might notice more deer crossing roadways—especially at dawn and dusk. And while you may be tempted to "hunt" your Thanksgiving turkey with your car, trust us: driving is NOT the way to secure your holiday feast! Stick to the grocery store or the family farm for that one, folks. Here’s how to stay safe on the roads this season: Scan ahead: Spotting animals early gives you more reaction time. Watch for groups: Deer rarely travel solo—if you see one, there are probably more nearby. Don’t swerve: If a collision is unavoidable, brake firmly and stay in your lane. Swerving can lead to more serious accidents or loss of control. As always: ✔️ Buckle up. ✔️ Stay alert. ✔️ Avoid distractions and impairment while driving. Safe travels! #safetyfirstmonday #lovelanddifference #trades #teamwork #lovewhatyoudo #bluecollar

**Protect Our Feathered Friends: Save Birds from Fireworks This New Year’s Eve** As we light up the sky to welcome the new year, let’s remember the lives below that are startled by our celebrations. Fireworks, while a symbol of joy for us, cause immense stress, disorientation, and sometimes fatal injuries to birds. This December 31st, let’s take a stand for nature: - Choose silent fireworks: Celebrate with low-noise alternatives to minimize distress. - Avoid bird nesting areas: Keep fireworks away from parks, wetlands, and treetop zones. - Time it wisely: Shorten the duration of fireworks displays to reduce prolonged exposure. - Spread awareness: Educate others about the impact of fireworks on wildlife. Let’s make this New Year’s Eve a celebration of harmony—where our joy doesn’t come at the cost of innocent lives. Together, we can ensure the skies are safe for our winged companions. #CelebrateResponsibly #protectbiodiversity

Buffalo, unlike other herd animals, have a unique approach to weathering storms. Instead of running away like their counterparts, they charge headfirst into the storm. This instinct, coupled with their thick skin, allows them to face challenges head-on. Gary Michels and I agree, we can all learn from the buffalo's mentality. Embrace the storm. ◽️◽️◽️◽️◽️◽️ Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/eA8PdHmb ◽️◽️◽️◽️◽️◽️ With Gary Michels #BuffaloMentality #OvercomingChallenges #ResilienceInBusiness
