The useful part

No matter how small the box is, a cat will always find a way to squeeze inside. There is something about cats and boxes that I will never understand, but I also don't think I want to. You leave an empty cardboard box on the floor for five minutes, and suddenly, it belongs to them.

How it works

  • I find this extremely cute, especially because of how much money we can spend trying to make our cats comfortable.
  • They twist their legs, tuck their paws under themselves, bend their bodies into shapes that shouldn't be comfortable, and somehow look perfectly relaxed.
  • As far as your cat is concerned, you just brought home a brand-new piece of feline furniture.
  • You can buy the softest bed in the store, one of those fancy little houses, a fluffy blanket, or even a cat tree that costs more than some of the furniture in your own home.
  • What makes the whole thing even funnier is that the size of the box doesn't seem to matter at all.

What to take from it

Cats have this incredible confidence that tells them they can fit anywhere. Sometimes, you look at a box and immediately know there is absolutely no way your cat is getting inside. Then, two minutes later, there they are, completely folded into it like they suddenly have no bones.

Details worth keeping

It's one of those little things that makes having a cat so entertaining. Apparently, cardboard is a luxury material when you're a cat. Meanwhile, I'm uncomfortable if my pillow is slightly out of place.
