Funny kitties why do cats love cardboard boxes?

 

Introduction

Meow! Who knocks on the door? Oh hey, it's the postman; I hope he brings us a packaging in a macaron boxes! Don't get me wrong, I don't care about the content … I just love boxes!

This passion is not without meaning!

Cardboard boxes in custom packaging for small business have always been safe spaces! the boxes are reassuring spaces for cats. I remember the time my owners took me to their home. I was pretty scared! I had to leave my mother and my siblings to find myself in this new house populated by many humans (large and small), and a myriad of furniture and smells that had been completely unknown to me until then. . So as soon as I saw this box in the corner, I dove in! What was it I was there!

Fortunately, my owners had learned about the needs of a newly arrived kitten. They had installed a comfortable blanket in the box, as well as an equally welcoming bed across the room. So, after a while, I got out of the box to discover my new home… I have to say that I like it now that I'm grown up and that I've got used to it.

I'm curious!

OK, I admit it! I'm a curious kitty, so I like to look at all the new things coming around the house. Of course, I always smell them first; did you know that my sense of smell is 14 times more powerful than humans? My favorite smells are:

My favorite bed or pillow: there is nothing more comforting than the smell of the place where I like to curl up. Even if FELIWAY Optimum could almost compete with it!

My owners: I don't feel like cuddling and affection every day, but that doesn't mean I don't adore my owners!

My favorite food: nothing whets my appetite more than the smell of my favorite meal!

Catnip (catnip): I know not all cats like it, but after smelling this plant, I suddenly want to play and have an irresistible urge to chase my dummy mouse favorite!

On the other hand, if there is one thing that does not interest me it is citrus fruits: I do not like lemons or oranges, and when I say that I do not like them, it is because if I came to eat them they could make me sick!

 

So, if I find a box that has contained citrus, I risk ignoring it. But, on the other hand, when I like the smell of a cardboard box, I jump in it and I claim it by rubbing myself against its walls and depositing my scent there!

They make excellent hiding places

Cardboard boxes make great hiding places for cats

Sometimes the vibe here gets a little too hectic for me. There are children at home who can be very loud, I prefer to have a place to hide and be more comfortable. The packages are generally for children, while they are having fun with their new toys, I find my happiness in the boxes they arrived. I can slip in and take cover, without them knowing where I went!

And to make me even more relaxed, my owners plugged in the new FELIWAY Optimum diffuser. Between that and my boxes, I'm really in cat heaven!

It is that we are there!

Although the cartons are very light, their interior is surprisingly comfortable because they are made of several cardboard layers. Cats have a higher body temperature than humans, so we need to stay warm, and that's good, because I'm good at slipping into small spaces to make myself comfortable.

Did you know that my mustaches are kind of radar? I can't see up close, so I use my whiskers to figure out how much space I can slip into and when it's best to give up, smart isn't it? They are not there only to make pretty (I already know that I am beautiful), they are essential for us cats.

I feel safe there

Cats Often Feel Safe in Boxes

When something makes me anxious, I'm happy to have a box to jump in. Cutting myself off from the surrounding action for a while gives me a feeling of protection; the outside world can be a little too hectic for my liking.  

My wild ancestors did much the same. Of course, they didn't have any cardboard boxes available, but they still hid in small, enclosed spaces, such as under a bush. In doing so, they escaped predators, but also took advantage of these covered spaces to hide before pouncing on their prey.
