Why Do Cats Love Boxes?

Cats enjoy sitting in boxes because it helps reduce their anxiety by providing a safe, enclosed space. A study showed that boxes significantly lower stress levels in cats, especially in new environments. Additionally, boxes help cats maintain their preferred warmer temperatures by trapping body heat. This behavior is not only seen in domestic cats but also in larger wild cats. To keep your cat stress-free, ensure they have access to a cozy box.
