I wish I knew who these cats were. Image found here.

An explanation?

Oh! Thanks for reprinting those photos. I was describing the one with the
three cats in three boxes to my boyfriend and then I thought, "I bet
they'll turn up if I Google 'cat in a box'" ...and so they did!

I once read the backstory from the people who supposedly took the picture.
Don't know if it's real, but it sounds right. They were taking some garbage
to leave at the end of their long driveway. They were driving an open
pickup truck and those boxes blew out.

When they came back, the boxes were full of their three cats, who stayed
still long enough for the picture.

That looks like exactly what happened, doesn't it?
