None. Forwhy not so many cats can fit in a box; and so this particular drawing, although lovely, does not hold water which, btw, cats overwhelmingly dislike.

It all depends on the weight (mass) of the box. I would say it is fair to assume that a box capable of holding 7 cats is at least as heavy as 2 cats...
