Kitten in a Box: Urban Fantasy

Who doesn't like getting a kitten in a box? An adorable, cute purring creature that looks up at you with big blue eyes, extends a tiny paw, and captures your heart. Nobody. Who likes getting a box that has "kitten in a box" scrawled on it in a semi-literate fashion with black marker? Not many people. He held his breath, resisted the urge to shake the box to see if anything moved, and took it inside. He noticed the lack of air holes and prepared to get angry, but he still--after casting a quick no-hex-check--took up his exacto knife and cut the packing tape to allow him to open the box. During this time, nothing inside the box protested. Not a good sign.

Inspiration: LJ is currently selling a "gift" that is a kitten in a box.
Story Potential: Medium.
Notes: And then he finds something catlike and alive. Cute gimmick, not really a story.
