Cats love boxes for several reasons:
-
Security: Boxes provide a safe and enclosed space where cats can hide and feel secure.
-
Warmth: Boxes are often made of materials that retain heat, providing a cozy spot for cats to relax.
-
Curiosity: Cats are naturally curious animals, and boxes offer them an opportunity to explore and investigate new spaces.
-
Territory marking: Cats have scent glands on their paws and face, so by entering a box, they can mark it with their scent, claiming it as their territory.
-
Hunting instinct: Boxes mimic small, enclosed spaces where cats can stalk and pounce on imaginary prey, satisfying their natural hunting instincts.
