“If it fits, I sits”
Cats have a well documented affinity for cardboard boxes, and research offers several insights into this behavior:
- Security and Comfort: Boxes provide a safe, enclosed space where cats can hide and feel secure, reducing anxiety and stress.
- Warmth: Cardboard acts as an excellent insulator, helping cats maintain their body heat and stay cozy.
- Play and Exploration: Boxes serve as perfect spots for stalking and pouncing, allowing cats to engage their hunting instincts.

Providing your cat with access to cardboard boxes can enrich their environment and promote natural behaviors.
