I must admit that I love boxes and bags and I don’t really think I need a reason or an excuse for it! I think every normal cat does but my mummy is quite perplexed by my liking or what she calls “my obsession”! However, she does her best to provide me with a variety in any color (black in the photo attached). She also does a lot of research to learn why cats love boxes and bags! Quite amusing, isn’t it? Here are few example of what she learned so far:
- Cats like boxes because they are cryptic animals and they like to hide (I think this is a good one)
- A box will give a cat a place of safety and security (hmm! I agree to some extent)
- Boxes or bags provide cats with a cozy, safe places to sleep (of course, since we sleep between 16 to 20 hours a day)
Mummy should know by now that understanding
a cat’s mind is notoriously difficult but sometimes our logic is quite
simple…like in this case: if it fits….I sit! That simple!

Dear Shumba,
I love them. Keyboards, books, the backs of armchairs, newspapers and high shelves are all fun. But boxes are best. My friend Tilly and Tanni like them too.
I particularly like hanging my head outside the box. There's something about boxes that brings out my originality.
You are so right. If it fits, sit in it.
