Few things are as true as the sun rises every day or cats, like cardboard boxes .You may have spent part of your salary buying them a beautiful scraper of four floors with two houses included or a whole playground, it doesn't matter, your four-legged friend will always prefer your shoe box or the cardboard box in which his toy came, rather than those “useless junk.” It never fails.
There are those who know the weakness of the felines by the cardboard boxes, they make nice constructions with windows included, cubicles that the cats will use between 10 and 15 hours a day, and that they will nibble until they are unusable.It is law of cat life , the obsession to hide between 4 cardboard walls is something worth studying that we will explain later.
The passion of cats for cardboard boxes It has a scientific explanation
The study is recent, right here The magazine "Applied Animal Behavior Science" published a work carried out by the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of the University of Utrech , in Holland, where it was tried to understand this fascination of felines by the box of carton.Do you know what his conclusion was? That small spaces like cardboard boxes are corners of relaxation for cats.It is here that they take refuge to rest and, according to these scientists, relieve stress .That is why for these veterinarians It would be very appropriate that when you adopt a kitten, and take it home, you offer a cardboard box.Here you will find security and feel less nervous.
Now, we know there are many other reasons why , cats adore cardboard boxes.It is clear that they are cubicles where they relax, but also, numerous biologists and experts in feline psychology, indicate these aspects to take into account:
- Cats love to hide. We cannot forget that they are predators, and being in small corners and being "camouflaged" offers them more possibilities At the time of hunting, I'm sure it will have happened on occasion, go to your closet for a piece of clothing and see the eyes of your cat stalking you from the shoebox to surprise you suddenly.They love to scare you!/li>
- Cats are curious by nature. That's right, it never fails.You just bought an appliance, you take it away in packaging and, when you realize your cats are already sniffing inside the boxes.The same thing happens when you are packing, if you don't realize it and close it, you run the risk of billing your cat on that trip.They love knowing everything you are doing!
- Sensory pleasure. Cats like so nest of the boxes, the smell and also nibble and plow them.They vent on them, they are catartic and relaxing for them, and no, the size never matters.Nothing happens if that tiny little cardboard box fits, they will do whatever for entering them and looking at you with satisfied air.
