How often have you noticed a cat resting peacefully in a cardboard box?
Sometimes you don’t know whether to laugh or cry when, instead of the softest new bed, the “hairball” chooses the hard and uncomfortable packaging that remains from it.
What explains this, to put it mildly, strange choice?
To understand why a cat does this, it is enough to remember that the animal is a hunter by nature.
Since ancient times, it has been the case that cats have looked for warm, small shelters where they could hide, waiting for prey.
It is this instinct that drives our pets to stay in boxes.
In addition, the kitten may try to hide in a cardboard box to hide from prying eyes - for example, when guests have gathered at home or he has had a hearty dinner and now wants to rest peacefully.
Finally, don't forget that cats are very heat-loving, and a box made of corrugated cardboard, which retains heat very well, can give it to them.
