It seems that every box that comes into the cat's field of vision immediately becomes an object of intense interest on the part of the animal.

No matter the size or shape of the cardboard box, it magically attracts our beloved purrs.

Let's find out the main reason why cats love boxes so much.

The fact is that many kittens are born and spend the first weeks of their lives in a box “equipped” with warm and cozy bedding.

This place becomes their home, where they spend their first 1-2 months surrounded by maternal love, nutrition and care.

The high walls of the box give them a sense of security and comfort, which helps them form an attachment to the place.

However, the influence of other factors should not be denied, including a sense of security and shelter, reduced stress and anxiety, warmth and comfort, and exploration of the territory.

All of them make the box so attractive to cats and turn the structure into an ideal place where the pet could hide, rest, and also hunt, have fun and play.
