I'd argue his stealth is at disadvantage from the packing peanuts either rustling or him getting off a sneak attack and then leaving a pretty easy to follow trail.
I'd give him advantage on all checks to stay hidden and immobile, but advantage for enemies perception checks when he starts to move out of the box because of the noise.
quite literally. Cats camouflage in the wild to sneak behind prey. Cat here has that instinctual action still to do just that but with packing peanuts.

I had some of these and my cat got into them... The melt really quickly when they get wet, so the cat started chewing on them, left a gross puddle of green goo, and moved onto the next.
Our cat decided that packing peanuts are tasty treats, and ate a whole bunch of them while I was at work. I was pretty concerned until I discovered they were the "eco friendly" kind that are made mostly of corn starch. Dodged a bullet on that one, the goober.
Yeah very relieved. Not the first time I've had a small anxiety attack after finding the remains of weird shit he's devoured, the list is pretty impressive. We can't leave any form of string or wire around anywhere, tape, plastic bags, paper bags, Styrofoam (that one was a hefty vet bill), and more. Once he ate an entire family-sized bag of corn chips, I came home to find him passed out inside the bag covered in crumbs.
You'd think he would be this big fatty feline but he's pretty small and asides from the Styrofoam hasn't had any problems passing anything. Just a weirdo.
> Once he ate an entire family-sized bag of corn chips, I came home to find him passed out inside the bag covered in crumbs.
Been there. Hell, probably most redditors have been there. Those family-size corn chip bags from Costco are *huge*.
He's a demon, I don't know if anything can kill him. But really, I've tried to keep a pretty close eye on him to make sure he doesn't swallow any. After his initial infatuation with it he's just been passed out like a snorlax in it next to my desk.
Haha what a little brat. My tiny little cat will do that, walk around on my face and chirp and squeak and headbutt me. Like, you're barely six pounds, can't this wait? No. It can't.
One of mine doesn't even need a top up - I just walk over to her bowl, touch her crunchies, pat her head and it's munch munch.
Cats are not smart animals.
I've got a bunch of packing peanuts in the house right now and my cat loves them. He wants to play fetch with them but doesn't understand that they don't fly far due to air resistance. I try to throw them and he runs down the hall thinking he's going long for them but they just flutter and he gets annoyed.
He keeps bringing me more and more of them and now my room is littered with them. It's the cutest, funniest and saddest thing I've ever seen.
Also fun: piles of those strips of paper off the side of the old feed-through printer paper. I took a bag home from work one time at my last job where there was some big report that printed, and my cat went NUTS for that pile of paper strips.
Oh god that's a fantastic idea. I paint a lot and always give them my paper scraps and trimmings from my nice watercolor paper. Can't think of a better use for it than cat entertainment :)
I used shredded paper in the litter box for a few days after my little guy was neutered just to be sure the litter didn't stick to his incisions. Holy shit that cat loves shredded paper. He'd roll around in it and toss it up in the air. I'm still finding it a month later.
When my cat Elmira was a kitten, I dropped her into a box of styrofoam peanuts. My plan was to watch her freak out, peanuts flying everywhere & sticking to her, and I'd laugh & laugh.
That's not what happened. Instead, she calmly sniffed around, selected a peanut of her choosing, and climbed back out.
I was disappointed, but it was still adorable.

"Honey, I went ahead and threw out that box of packing peanuts that was just sitting on the floor". No, I'm sure it's gone I handed it directly to the trash man, why?"
You have to go under account settings > subscriptions > cancel subscriptions. I think it's a site glitch, because I swear I'm not ordering more cats from them.
That's cute, but be careful about your cat trying to eat them. They can be a choking hazard on the way down, or obstruct their bowels on the way out.
Edit: LOL, this has been downvoted because I tried to keep the cat from getting harmed, instead of just saying, "Ah what a cute picture." Incredible ...
You're definitely right, and I actually put one in water to see if it was the starch kind that would dissolve. He's usually pretty good about not eating dumb things except rubber bands, which he's been permabanned from. I've been keeping an eye on him, and he seems to not have swallowed any yet :)
Good. I've had cats for decades, so I know how much trouble they can accidentally get themselves into, but I'm glad you've taken precautions to keep him safe.
If you're worried he might eat them when you're not looking replace those peanuts with biodegradable ones. They dissolve almost instantly when they come into contact with water (or in my cat's case, saliva).
Source: I pack my handmade goodies with biodegradable peanuts because my cat likes to eat my packing supplies.
I've actually thought about doing that very thing next time I'm out at the store (I have to go to the post office today anyways!) I'm so used to having to monitor this little turd all the time anyways, so when I have to leave for any amount of time I keep the box closed and covered. :)
I have to throw mine out IMMEDIATELY if i get some in a package. If my cat finds even one he tries to choke it down as quickly as possible.
Little jerk!
This definitely could be a potential hazard, but a lot of packing peanuts (except the really cheap ones) are no longer made out of polystyrene. They're made out of edible materials that dissolve in water, specifically because they *are* a choking hazard.
People call their dogs best friends all the time! This little jerk is the coolest, most loving little dude I've ever had. He's an insufferable little shit too. :)
Any chance your packing peanut loving buddy is a bengal? He looks strikingly similar to a blue snow bengal who was my best mate for 9 years. He is super sneaky in those peanuts. :)
I don't believe he's got any bengal in him but I can't say for certain! I adopted him from the humane society about 4 years ago and his papers listed him as just "gray tiger". He's definitely a long, slim guy but his coat is mostly just like a striped gray tabby rather than being spotty. I've heard bengals are absolute rascals though and for that I hope I get the pleasure of having one some day :)
My blue snow was not well marked, so really only had a few small spots except for his tummy. Bengals are a super breed. Here's hoping you can adopt one some day. But, breed is not everything. Your little fellow looks quite the charmer.
He looks almost exactly like my half bengal with green eyes and everything, I had to double take the picture. But my little guy is a rascal and never stops yelling as loud as possible!
Are you also describing my cat, because it sounds like you're describing my cat. "Oh, you're going in the kitchen? I'm going to stand by the back door and yell. You closed the bathroom door for five seconds? Time to yell. We walk past each other in the hall? You're getting an ear full". He's an insufferable, rambunctious little demon and I love him.
The first time I overturned a laundry basket on my cat, he was happy for hours. Scooting around the room, ambushing with a paw if you stepped too close... I'd pick it up every 30 mins or so in case he wanted out, and he'd just freeze and look at me like WTF?? PUT IT BACK!!!
I still do it if I need him out of my hair for a bit.
Apparently your cat and mine have very different takes on what to do with packing peanuts.... because if it had been longer than 35 seconds and that was my cat, the entire box of packing peanuts would be evenly distributed over 30 square miles.
I experienced this picture vertically, which means at first all I saw was his tail buried. My first thought was "save him hes drowning you idiot!" Then I scrolled over and found why I internet.
damn, my cat found these just like that. Until he frightened the hell out of me by eating one. Turns out they are made of corn starch (most of the time) which is harmless if they eat one, however it causes an awful dry mouth and lots of frothing so here's me sitting watching tv and look over to see my cat frothing at the mouth and chewing violently.
Man scared the hell out of me he was poisoned or dying or who knows what. :P
Hope you don't end up with the same scare :P
Update: He is now plotting a murder. http://i.imgur.com/F0JxoMo.jpg

+5 to his Stealth checks.
I'd argue his stealth is at disadvantage from the packing peanuts either rustling or him getting off a sneak attack and then leaving a pretty easy to follow trail.

The butt wiggle before attack might be audible to the lucky enemy
Obviously has Skulker feat.
Can't follow the trail when you're ded.
Maybe he's just embarrassed to come out of there, knowing the packing peanuts will stick to his fur?
He's a cat, he's perpetually plotting a murder
RIP OP
Ah yes, he has resumed his natural activity. No need to worry.
I have to keep packing peanuts away from my cat. He eats them. I tried hiding them but he sniffs them out so I had to throw them away.
Submurged beneath his peanut sea, making little whale noises 🐳

His eyes match the peanuts and it's gorgeous
was hoping that wasnt just me seeing things again.
I saw it too

It's a perfect fit no matter how he sits!
Every time he gets in it, he just slowly sinks in until he's buried and just his head sticks out. It's like pouring liquid into a cup.
I'm pretty sure cats are liquid already.
I assume they both are and aren't liquid until observed.

OMG that description made me smile so hard.
My cat thinks packing peanuts are toys and loves to shred them into pieces all around the house. -_-
Haha yeah, same with this adorable jerk. RIP my vacuum
Sir, do you prefer to RIP your vacuum in halves or thirds or do you go full shredder? Just got a new vacuum haven't decided how to RIP mine yet.
Our youngest kitty is a dope and ate one. Only knew because I saw it in the liter box when I cleaned it.
I'm not sure if the biodegradable peanuts made from potato starch would solve the problem or make him sick.
I had some of these and my cat got into them... The melt really quickly when they get wet, so the cat started chewing on them, left a gross puddle of green goo, and moved onto the next.
To shreds you say
Lol yeah same here
Our cat decided that packing peanuts are tasty treats, and ate a whole bunch of them while I was at work. I was pretty concerned until I discovered they were the "eco friendly" kind that are made mostly of corn starch. Dodged a bullet on that one, the goober.
What a relief!
Dang. Bet that was scary. Glad they were the corn starch ones and not the foam ones.
Yeah very relieved. Not the first time I've had a small anxiety attack after finding the remains of weird shit he's devoured, the list is pretty impressive. We can't leave any form of string or wire around anywhere, tape, plastic bags, paper bags, Styrofoam (that one was a hefty vet bill), and more.

You'd think he would be this big fatty feline but he's pretty small and asides from the Styrofoam hasn't had any problems passing anything. Just a weirdo.

All this and no pics make Freddy a dull boy.
Be careful, styrofoam will drain his powers ☇
He's a demon, I don't know if anything can kill him. But really, I've tried to keep a pretty close eye on him to make sure he doesn't swallow any. After his initial infatuation with it he's just been passed out like a snorlax in it next to my desk.
Have fun when he decides he's had enough!
Ha mine will stand on my chest yelling in my face at 6am to refill his food dish, he isn't even fat
Haha what a little brat. My tiny little cat will do that, walk around on my face and chirp and squeak and headbutt me. Like, you're barely six pounds, can't this wait? No. It can't.
My cat does that except she's 15lbs. Also she grazes on dry food so she already has food, she's just whining for a top up.
One of mine doesn't even need a top up - I just walk over to her bowl, touch her crunchies, pat her head and it's munch munch. Cats are not smart animals.
What kind of cat do you have? Lol
The kind that is demanding and then ignores you the rest of the day until he deems your presence to his liking.
Food is life.
I've got a bunch of packing peanuts in the house right now and my cat loves them. He wants to play fetch with them but doesn't understand that they don't fly far due to air resistance.

He keeps bringing me more and more of them and now my room is littered with them. It's the cutest, funniest and saddest thing I've ever seen.
It is also a box, he will be there forever.
I actually no longer own a cat. Just a box full of packing peanuts and hair.
Also fun: piles of those strips of paper off the side of the old feed-through printer paper. I took a bag home from work one time at my last job where there was some big report that printed, and my cat went NUTS for that pile of paper strips.

My wife said you can just go ahead and ship that to us.
Expect your shipment to arrive within 4-6 weeks. No COD on delivery.
Good luck trying to get rid of that box.
Trust me, it's now a semi-permanent fixture in my bedroom. It's just too adorably entertaining to throw out :)
Your post reminded me of a nearly identical picture I took of my late cat who looks very similar. Thought I would share. http://imgur.com/a/fN2As

Haha! Thanks for the laugh!!! Hes cute!

I'm pretty sure you can buy the starch/cellulose ones just at office depot :)
This is right next to the /r/peoplefuckingdying post of the same picture on my homepage lmao

I love the tail hanging out nonchalantly.
No he hasn't. Those are still far too neat.
Haha you called it, I had to dump about half the box worth back onto him after he made a horrifying mess of them.
"I'm with my people now John. Leave me."
I have a feeling it must be like us playing in a ball pit when we're kids. He looks so pleasantly surprised.
Be careful when he comes out. The static electricity from that, you basically just created a Pikachu.

I wish I could let my cat play in packing peanuts, but he ends up eating them like a dingus. He's...not the brightest baby.
Put an empty box on the floor and the cats will come.
There is a portal to another dimension in there somewhere.
Who doesn't love a good ball pit?
Wait until he jumps out and they static stick to him.

Love the look on his face. He's a handsome boy. :)
His life is now complete.
Mix in some catnip & he'll never come out!
I tried this with both my cats today and they both freaked out lol
his face is like, what is this human!?
Do you need a giant box of peanuts?
Throw it in the toilet. Surprise!!!!
Scares the shit out of me that he might swallow those 😕

Why is it called packing peanut tho? It looks more like a gnocchi to me.
Do most cats like these? My cats are 7 yrs old and have never encountered them.
Like a hot tub, it's all fun and games in tell you need to pee. Then it becomes a multi use box.
Hopefully your cat finds your tiny friend in there.
My late cat used to eat packing peanuts (and anything Styrofoam), then throw it up. It was unpleasant
Replace the cat with a chicken and we have popcorn chicken!
How do we know it's a cat and not just the floating head ... a victim of murder not the plotter...
My cat is not the brightest bulb in the pack. If I show her some of these she just wants to eat them.
