Why do cats like to live in boxes? Let's find out the answer. 🐱🎁
If we were to talk about a cat's favorite toy, it would be an empty box that whenever they see it, they want to crawl into. Especially small boxes that they can't fit themselves in, they really like. But have you ever wondered why cats seem to especially like boxes or objects that give them their own personal space, like paper bags, laundry baskets, and bags?
Cats naturally seek out their own space or territory where they feel they own it. Cats see empty boxes as not only a good place to hide, but also a good place to hunt for stray prey!
In addition, when in the box, the cat will feel that it will not be attacked from behind or from any side because the box is a closed space. If something tries to harm itself, it will only be able to enter through one way, making it easier for the cat to prepare for it. The box also helps the cat to secretly watch what is happening around it without being noticed. For example, if there is a tempting object or an animal walking by, the cat can immediately attack (imagine when a cat slaps something, it's like that).😂) Then after the attack is complete, the little one will return to the box, to his own safe space as if nothing happened. These behaviors come from the hunter instinct in cats.
You could say that the box is like a comfortable and safe space for cats. Anyone who isCat slaves, try finding a cardboard box for your cat to hide in. It's guaranteed that your cat will relax.So much so that they can sleep in the box for more than 20 hours. It's no wonder why cats love the box so much, right?
