Cats and Their Obsession with Cardboard Boxes

For humans, the dream home might be a spacious villa with a view. For cats? A cardboard box.

A House Is a House – No Matter the Size

For humans, the dream home might be a spacious villa with a view. For cats? A cardboard box.

While we worry about square footage, interior design, and comfort, a cat only needs four flimsy walls and a snug fit to feel like royalty. The smaller the box, the better.

Why Do Cats Love Boxes So Much?

No one really knows. Maybe it’s the sense of security, the natural instinct to hide, or simply the joy of ignoring you while you unpack a delivery—only to claim the box as their own within seconds.

Golden Rule: If It’s a Box, It Belongs to the Cat

You could buy the softest, most luxurious cat bed on the market, but if there’s a cardboard box nearby, the outcome is inevitable. The bed will be ignored, and the box will become their new residence.

Even if the box is far too small, your cat will somehow squeeze inside. Comfort is irrelevant. What matters is that they own the box.

Cat Logic: We’ll Never Understand It

Big boxes, small boxes, boxes you haven’t even opened yet—according to your cat, every single one is prime real estate. And while you wonder how something so cramped could possibly be comfortable, they’re busy purring away in their new cardboard mansion.
