Why Do Cats Love Boxes So Much?


Still Waters

Recommended Posts

Take heart feline enthusiasts. Your cat's continued indifference toward her new Deluxe Scratch DJ Deck may be disappointing, but there is an object that's pretty much guaranteed to pique her interest. That object, as the Internet has so thoroughly documented, is a box. Any box, really. Big boxes, small boxes, irregularly shaped boxes - it doesn't matter. Place one on the ground, a chair, or a bookshelf and watch as Admiral Snuggles quickly commandeers it.

One of my cats just took to boxes...the other I had to put catnip in one, and after that he tries to claim every box he sees. The first on was jumping in a big box just seconds ago!

Not just boxes. Mine likes to curl up and go to sleep inside plastic grocery bags.

Surely the question should be why don't us humans love boxes more, Boxes are amazing!

I agree, and my mother and grandmother were box fanatics, they both had closets full of empty boxes.

My cats seems to like paper bags over boxes. I take reusable bags to the store, but somes I ask them for a paper bag for the cats.

They want to see if what is inside is alive or not. lol

Really though, they seem to understand boxes can contain something so they have a look. Once inside the box, if it was empty before, they seem to realize they now are what the box contains and get a kick out of that.
