with a snug fit and lack of visibility,

interactive environment for exploration,
0:23
scratching, and pawing, providing mental

stimulation and entertainment. Three,
0:28
warmth and comfort. Cats generate more

heat during rest. Cardboard boxes
0:33
provide a cozy insulated space that
0:35
helps retain their body heat, making the
0:38
box an ideal spot for resting or
0:40
napping. Four, territory marking. Cats
0:43
mark territory by rubbing against
0:45
objects. Cardboard boxes offer surfaces
0:48
to scratch and rub against, allowing
0:50

0:53
territory within the household. Five.

Modern factors. The popularity of
0:58
cardboard boxes among cats is influenced
1:01
by modern factors like packaging
1:03
materials and cat- friendly product
1:05
design. Many cat litter brands offer
1:08
cardboard boxes as part of their
1:09
systems. While some manufacturers
1:12
produce cat specific cardboard toys and
1:14
play structures. In conclusion, a cat's
1:17
love for cardboard boxes is rooted in
1:19
instinctual needs for shelter, safety,
1:22
exploration, warmth, territory marking,
1:25
and modern factors that cater to this
1:27
behavior. Understanding this behavior
1:30
helps cat owners provide an environment
1:32
promoting their cats well-being and
1:34
offering enjoyable experiences.
