Question:
Every time we have pizza delivered my cat goes ballistic over something in the box. He lies on top of the box and rolls from side to side and kneads the cardboard. Is he wacko or what?.

Answer:
Your cat is ecstatic because he loves the smell of pizza. This kind of behavior (which is more common in dogs, who will roll in obnoxious material because the scent gives them great pleasure) is most often seen in cats when given catnip -- and a few cats who like to roll on mentholated cigarettes!
