Why do domestic cats possess an absolute fascination with climbing inside small empty cardboard boxes?
The moment I empty a small shipping delivery box and leave it flat on the carpet my cat will immediately sprint over squeeze their body inside and sit there for hours. What psychological comfort does a box supply?

An empty cardboard box represents a secure structural den for a feline predator. Squeezing into narrow enclosed spaces mimics natural hiding structures letting them observe their surrounding environment without being spotted while drastically lowering their physiological cortisol stress levels.
