A tale as old as time: cute cats sitting and fitting into cardboard boxes

Hey there, feline enthusiasts. Today we are examining a phenomenon as old as time and as passionate a Shakespearean love story. Cats can find comfort in many a place. If we're being honest, we buy our cats new cat beds, toys, and blankets for them to explore all the time, but they often resort to what they know and set up camp inside a plain old cardboard box.

Sometimes you just need a quiet spot to chill out and relax, we can relate to that! Cat owners know it to be proved true time and time again, place a cat in front of both a cat toy and a box, they will always choose the box. If our feline friends are happy and entertained, so are we! Every time we receive a package in the mail we save the cardboard box for at least a couple of extra days just so our cats can enjoy hopping in and relaxing for a bit. It seems like a secure spot to enjoy a chill session.

What captures the hearts of these beautiful and gentle creatures? Nothing does the trick quite like a box. Ball of yarn? No thanks. We've got all we need here. All we need of course is an empty box soon to be filled to the brim with all the overwhelming cuteness of a cat.

When your cat sits in a box, you know they're feeling happy and content. And honestly, who can blame them? If we could all find joy in such simple pleasures, the world would be a much happier place.
