We often say that cats will grow out of cardboard boxes if kept for a long time. This is because cats always like to stay in cardboard boxes. Even if a variety of toys are prepared for cats, they always prefer cardboard boxes. Why do cats like cardboard boxes?

In fact, cats may not like cardboard boxes, but need them. Because cats are easily nervous, they can get comfort and security from enclosed spaces, and cardboard boxes are the kind of enclosed spaces that can be easily found.

For cats in stressful environments, adding some separation into the environment, such as several cardboard boxes, can have a significant impact on their behavior and physiology.

Like to stay in a cardboard box, it has something to do with the cat’s personality. When cats encounter environmental changes and stress, the behavioral strategy they adopt is to hide. For example, when a stranger comes to the house, the cat will seek peace in the cardboard box. Of course, there are many hiding places that cats will choose.

In general, cardboard boxes can both keep warm and reduce stress. Cats can hide, relax, sharpen their claws and sleep in cardboard boxes. Cats can occasionally jump out and scare the cat, and observe the cat’s fun. The reaction will naturally be very attractive to cats.
