This epic struggle involves three cats and one Vitamix box, according to Nikii and Jessica Gerson-Neeves of Victoria, British Columbia.
The cats — named Max, “George, Destroyer of Worlds” and Lando Calrissian — each want the box for themselves and are defying anyone who tries to to open it. A cold war is ongoing in the couple’s kitchen, with the cats keeping the box under 24-hour guard. This includes staring at it, pacing round it, sitting on top of it and threatening to fight each other over it.
Meanwhile, the Vitamix blender is still trapped inside, Jessica Gerson-Neeves wrote in a plea for help on the Vitamix Facebook page.
The post, which has gotten 13,000 reactions and comments, included photos proving the defiant cats were clearly in control of both the box and the Gerson-Neeves household.

There is a common tool readily at hand for dealing with recalcitrant kitties. Use it.

Cats in a blender.
If she gives the cats that much power, she should just lie down and die and let them eat her.
Why not throw away the box, or a least put it in storage?
OMG. Virus news is so slow in FL that this qualifies?
smh
(And no, I didn’t get rid of Mr. Whiskers. Last year he sliced up a burglar pretty good.)
These owners are as uncreative as Simon of Simon’s Cat fame (YouTube hand-drawn cartoons). You have three cats. They are indoors. You have rooms with closeable doors. Cats need to eat, sleep, and use the litter box. Put food and litter box in room with closeable door. When cats use either, close the door. Food will eventually win.
Great song.
“Oh, the cat’s in the blender and the silver spoon
Little Boy Blue and the man in the moon”
The blender is still inside.
I get this story. It is like having to get up and out of bed, but knowing it will disturb the boss, so toughing things way too long.
You haven’t tried herding cats. They will use the sand box and eat in shifts, and when one goes in, one escapes. They know how to escape. They know it well.
And you can’t ignore a cat if she’s pawing your head at 0-dark-thirty...
“I want my snack !!”
My daughter brought two cats into the house. When I want them to go elsewhere, a spray bottle full of water will convince them to go.
To pee or not to pee </Red Dwarf>
Red Dwarf Ping!
Mine would think that was downright rude.
My cats mind when I tell them to leave a room or to stop doing something. I hope these people are never responsible for children.
I have been around cats all my life, and have two right now. You have to deal with them one at a time, but it can be done.
I've seen big cats (lions, tigers) in zoos playing with refrigerator boxes like house cats in shoe boxes. It's the darndest thing.
Go feed the cats in another room. Take the box.
Guys, when women tell you about a problem they dont want an answer. They want you to affirm and support their emotion with attention.
When people on social media tell you about a problem they dont want an answer. They want you to support their fame and finances.
