Explained passion for a cardboard house

Closed space

Cardboard nature

A cat loves a tree, because this is its element. The box keeps this delicious woody smell, in addition, it is warm, cozy.

All come from childhood

Often cats give birth to their children in boxes, feed them there with milk, lick. This is their first home, a place where it is warm, safe and not threatened by hunger. The love of cardboard is instilled in a cat from birth.

Own angle

A cat always has a personal space where she rests, puts herself in order. She does not like to wander around the rooms in search of a suitable place. A comfortable cardboard box often becomes such a “personal bed”. If you put your favorite toys in it, a warm mat, the cat will be delighted.

Great place to ambush. Cats hunt, waiting for prey in a secluded place. They hide and, when the time comes, attack. It can be a human foot, a toy or a mouse.

The rustling of the box. Cats love a soft rustling sound. Inside the cardboard it’s good to “dig”, sharpen claws.

Cats love boxes because: it is a closed, and therefore relatively safe space, a suitable place for a long ambush, it is warm in it, and it is convenient to sharpen nails.
