    One of our dogs likes to crawl into large reusable shopping bags if there's one on the floor and sleep in it, pets be crazy.

    Proper answer: yes

    Bit more elaborate answer: cats like feeling safe so boxes and other enclosed areas are their favourite spots for chilling out. Even if that box is too small for the fur ball

    Cardboard is a superb insulator and cats are a lot smarter than we think !

    I reckon one of them could speak and told the homeless !

    He does have a bigger closed box with an opening in the front he also likes. He ripped a second hole in the back so he could escape!

    True. There was a particular box he was rather fond of and for about a week he would request I get h the box for some lap tiime. He loves cardboard of all varieties, even if it's a little precariously perched he'll find a way in, like this box mountain he was on last night.

    I think Schrödinger never had a cat and was just winding people up.

    He was a cock holster, as are all people who theorise about poisoning cats.

    I miss my cat.

    And my dog.

    Our cat likes a box.

    She used to like carrier bags too until the daft bugger got her head through a handle, spooked herself and bolted around the house being chased by the bag she was in. Numptee :happy:

    I remember mine jumped into a box, tipping it over to the point where she was inside and standing on the lid. She got properly violent in there, until she managed to up-end it again and thrust her head out of the top and hissed at me; like I was somehow to blame. :lol:

    Little weirdo. The sweatier the better. Though I say little, the bugger soon got absolutely frigging huge.

    Woolie wasn't a fan of cardboard.
