One of mine does. Give her a box (even one too small for her) and she's sitting/crouching/trying to fit in it.

Maybe it's about the pressure?
all the cats at home squash into small boxes to,and biscuit even squashes herself under radiators.

886,
it's a kitty thing,it's like getting them a expensive christmas present and they prefer tearing the wrapping paper apart instead,
a lot of them couldn't care less if it was a old cardboard box with maybe a fleecy sheet inside,instead of a diamond filled cat bed from selfridges.

You have a point there. She loves rough pets, smashing into walls and throwing herself to the floor. Can't believe I didn't think of it before, thank you KoR, I'm now going to get a permanent shoe box for her. We had discarded the old one after our male tore it up.

I was obsessed with boxes, when I was a baby. I used to play with them, all the time.

I loved playing with boxes when I was a kid, and all of our cats are obsessed with them! Especially our two grey-white-black tabbies. I really miss playing in boxes, now I'm too big and old for it to be socially acceptible.

In reference to adverb's photo of the boxes - I looked for at least 2 minutes at all the boxes, and then I jumped as I suddenly noticed there was a person in the picture as well! 8O

If you are like me you would know automatically what box to look in for a particular object...

The Korrugated Kingdom topic

Wow, what a box lovers' dream--living on, in, outside, inside, alongside and around boxes. It is a boxful life. What is it that binds us to the box? Box populaire! :lol: :roll:
