CATDOLL : Why cats like cardboard boxes

Reasons why cats like cardboard boxes:

1. Cats like cardboard boxes because they naturally like narrow, dark spaces.

2. Cats feel safe in cardboard boxes. In the eyes of cats, naked or too much space will make many cats feel scared, but the space of cardboard boxes is just right for them, which will bring them a certain sense of security. So this is why cats would rather sleep in cardboard boxes than in luxurious cat beds.

3. Cats find cardboard boxes warm in winter and cool in summer.

4. Cats in boxes can adapt to new environments faster than cats without boxes, eliminate tension earlier, and prefer to communicate and be close to humans.

5. Simply playing. Cats may be simply playing when they tear up cardboard boxes. Some kittens are more naughty and can play with a piece of tissue or a ball of paper for a long time.

6. Attracted by smells. Cats may tear up cardboard boxes to eat because there are smells they like on them. If the cardboard box is used to hold some food, then it may be stained with the smell of some food.

7. Feeling anxious. Some cats may tear up cardboard boxes to vent when they feel anxious, stressed or bored.

8. In the teething period. If the kittens are a few months old, they may bite the cardboard boxes because they are in the teething period. Their teeth feel itchy and uncomfortable, so they bite the cardboard boxes to achieve the effect of grinding their teeth and relieve the discomfort.

9. Pica. If a cat chews on a cardboard box and then eats it, it may be pica. The usual cause of pica in cats is a lack of nutrients such as trace elements, cellulose, and minerals.

Cats like the benefits of cardboard boxes:

1. For a soft cat bed, a cardboard box can be used not only for sleeping, but also for sharpening claws, which has an extra function. Cats will not be angry when using the box to sharpen their claws or shovel poop. The cardboard box feels good and has no odor, making it a favorite for cats.

2. Cardboard boxes can keep cats warm in winter and cool in summer. Especially in winter, cats will feel comfortable in them, and they know how to enjoy it.

3. Cardboard boxes are affordable and fun, and are the best choice for pet owners.
