Why do cats like cardboard boxes?

[Catherine]

Quote:'ll tell you a secret....
If you get a special carboard box and cut a door into it and write the cat's name on top in marker pen and put a really comfy cushion or blanket inside....the cat will treat it like a nuclear fall-out zone.

If you are trying hard to unpack stuff and there's one scruffy cardboard box around with some shreds of newspaper in, and the cat KNOWS you are busy with the box....the cat will choose that as the best place to sleep in the whole Universe!

That is CATS exactly. You couldn't come up with a better description.

A dog will do whatever you want, anything at all to please you.
Cats take satisfaction in doing things to drive us crazy.

I am not sure I would want a friend that acts like a cat, but you have to admire cats for getting away with this for centuries.
We actually stay loyal to them.
