I swear, my cat has a serious love affair with boxes. No matter the size or shape, if there's a box around, she’s in it—sometimes even squeezing into ones that look way too small for her! It’s like her little safe zone or her personal fortress. Just the other day, I caught her sitting in a tiny shoebox, looking absolutely proud of herself. It’s so funny to watch her jump in and out, rearranging the boxes like she’s on some secret mission. I’ve started saving all sorts of boxes just to keep her entertained. Does anyone else have a pet who is completely obsessed with boxes or some other quirky thing? Would love to hear your stories or fun habits your furry friends have!

Your cat sounds like a total box connoisseur! It’s amazing how they can turn the simplest thing like a shoebox into their own little kingdom. I once had a cat who did the same—he’d pick the tiniest boxes and somehow make them work, even if it looked super uncomfortable to us. It’s like their way of claiming a spot in the world, right?

And the secret mission vibe you mentioned? So real! My cat would “patrol” around her box forts like she was guarding treasure. It’s such a quirky, endearing habit that really shows their personality. Definitely saving boxes now too—never know when they’ll need a new fortress!
