    I honestly don't get why cats' love for boxes confuses so many people. Boxes are super cozy! Seriously, if I had a human-sized box, I'd happily stretch out in it.....wait a minute, I think I just described a coffin.

    I’m fascinated by how a cat will sit in a square you draw on the floor.

      Hehe, totally! There was a piece of the original script for this video that talked about that, but I deleted it because I didn't want the video to be too long. Here's the piece I deleted: "A study named “If I Fits I Sits: A Citizen Science Investigation into Illusory Contour Susceptibility in Domestic Cats (Felis silvestris catus)” published in 2021, indicates that cats are also drawn to sit in 2D squares. This could be explained by the fact that cats consider shapes with borders as a way to protect themselves from predators or other potential danger." Anyway, thanks for pointing it out and thanks so much for watching! ❤

    We have a cat and I wouldn't say she is callmer due boxes in a apartment. She really has high anxiety and tends to try to get outside. But she loves boxes too. Whenever we get a new box, our cat is first to get inside to it. But she also likes boxes in certain areas in the apartment, usually where she can watch birds through window or near radiator. She even asks to get her in to the box and keep her on my knees where she just sleeps and as I put a box away with her inside it, she wakes up. We even got her factory made cat hide outs but this cat just love to hang out in the simple boxes, so we simply gave up of buying expensive stuff.

    I have a stray male who visits me and when he came in and saw the ceiling tile box with it's folding fortress rooftop he thought I was trying to trap him. Put it down and a few minutes later he was laying in it, content as ever. He was loving the warmth I could tell.

    My cat very likes his transport cage (steel wire) when it stands on shelf top - protection, visibility all around, soft warm cushion and sense of his own property. The best place to sleep or lay and monitor everything. Boxes are notvery attractive comparing to it.

      Not bad for Free Cat, is she? 😂
      I lived in a poor area so you'd often see strays.
      First there was Fleabag, she curled herself at me, screaming for food she was so hungry.
      So I emptied my pocket cat treats for her and on the way back from an errand I picked her up and took her indoors.
      Flea'd, worm'd, Chip'd and then rehomed as Jess with a work friend's mum. She loved for a happy 15 years being waited in hand and foot.
      Then Marmite, rehomed with the vet that examined his injured paw the next day.
      Then came Fuzzbutt, who we had flea'd, worm'd, Chip'd and spayed.
      Her new home fell through so we kept her as Penny.
      Didn't cost a Penny
      Costs us a pretty Penny
      Pretty as a Penny
      Is Brown.

    My cat lets me sleep in the house and lets me drive the car it owns but the box with the fluffy blanket is the inner sanctuary, and once my cat is in the box it turns invisible and you must pretend you don’t know where it is, until the time it will come out for food.

    Because they know they are God's gift to mankind and want to remind us with this simple act😂😂It's also because they are comforting and fun to explore feeding security and prey play needs.

    do u really need to ask? did u love toy houses tall enough for you to get in and hide when u were a kid?
    what about things that you can pull apart and shred? (assuming u don't get in trouble later)
    it's the same thing
