Have you ever had a cat come to you no matter where you are? This is not a coincidence, but research has shown that cats know where you are even if they can’t see you or aren’t in the same room.

By nature, cats have an instinctive nature of looking for personal space or territory that they feel they own. Cats see empty boxes as not only a way to hide, but also a way to hunt for prey that wanders in! In addition, when they’re in a box, cats feel that they won’t be attacked from behind or anywhere else because the box is an enclosed space. If something tries to hurt them, they can only get in through one way, making it easier for cats to prepare. Plus, boxes help them sneakily watch what’s happening around them without being noticed…
