Is your cat bored? Nothing like a cardboard box to keep you entertained for a long time. These furry ones love to go anywhere, but especially in them. While there are many theories, it is not yet known for sure Why do cats like boxes.
Is it because they weigh little? For the security they provide? After thinking about it a lot, I am going to expose you my theory, let's see what you think.
If you have ever watched a feline documentary, surely at some point you will have seen them on top of a tree or hidden behind some bushes from where they can observe the landscape or stalk their prey. In the case of cats, of course they have no need to hunt since they only have to meow for us to fill their feeder, but the feline instinct still does not run through their veins. And in fact, How many times has he jumped on a shelf simply because he wanted to observe you from a situation where he could be safe and calm?
In addition, we cannot forget that we are living with animals. very curious For nature. They love to investigate anything new: get into closets, suitcases, ... and of course boxes.
The boxes also serve as a scraper, because being made of cardboard, they can scratch and, incidentally, sharpen their nails. When they get tired, they'll snuggle up like this lovely two-tone kitten in the picture above, and they'll do what they do best: nap until their stomach is roaring again.
Why do they get inside the boxes? For fun but also by instinct.
So nothing, give your cat a box (the bigger the better, since this way it will make more noise and surely he will enjoy more), prepare your camera, and have a pleasant time looking at it 🙂.
Yes 🙂
