Scientists proved long ago that the Internet is, in fact, composed of 98.7 percent cats. Yet why cats -- whom evolution equipped with space-detecting whiskers -- insist on squeezing themselves into impossibly tight places is still a mystery.
A really entertaining mystery.

Some animal experts describe the box antics of cats as territorial behavior in which the feline is providing himself three walls of protection and vantage point from which to attack.

Those "owned by cats" claim, like most cat behavior, it's about comfort. Cats like to sleep in tight balls, they point out, and tight spaces help kitties constrict their bodies well past their formidable physical capabilities.


There is the slim possibility that cats do it to entertain us -- the Food Providers. Cats being cats, however, that's highly unlikely.

Embracing the Purrplexity of Cats and Their Box Obsession​

It's widely acknowledged that the internet loves cats, and this fascination seems to stem from both their playful antics and their oddly charming behavior. As the original post mentions, scientists humorously state that the fabric of the internet is woven with 98.7 percent cat-related content. One particular mystery worth exploring is why cats, equipped with their incredible whiskers, are compelled to squeeze themselves into tiny spaces that seem almost impossible. In recent explorations of this behavior, some experts suggest that cats derive comfort and security from small spaces. By entering boxes, they create a protective environment with three walls, allowing them to observe their surroundings while feeling safe. This is supported by the argument that cats naturally curl up to sleep, snuggling into compact areas that provide warmth and a sense of confinement. The linked video, titled "Many too small boxes and Maru," showcases Maru, a famous cat known for his love of tight boxes. This playful content highlights not just Maru's struggles and triumphs when it comes to fitting into various containers, but also serves as a delightful demonstration of this quintessential feline behavior. It encourages viewers to ponder if cats' antics are partly for our amusement or if they simply act according to their own instincts. In today's digital age, where cat videos reign supreme, this topic invites a sense of nostalgia for long-time forum members. It resonates with the shared experiences of cat owners who witness their pets engaging in similar playful explorations. Cats will be cats, and perhaps there's a bit of humor in accepting that, for them, the pursuit of the perfect box is serious business.
