You go out to the pet store in search for the perfect cat toy for your picky feline. You come home and call your kitty to you. You excitedly open the package and dangle the new toy in front of your cat. He pounces, gets a taste of it, and then walks away. You try again but kitty just looks at you with a look that says, “Are you kidding me? This is boring!”
The next day you get a package in a big cardboard box. You take your products out of the box and your cat immediately jumps in. You have to shake your head. Of all the things that gets your cat excited, it is a cardboard box you are about to discard.
Why is this? Why are they attracted to the simple things that we consider trash?
Apparently, they love things they can hide in. They like to be able to surprise and pounce on others.
Cardboard boxes allow them to do just that. They can hide and wait for just the right time to pop up and say, “Boo!”
Because we all know how much cats love cardboard, people have created templates from which you can make your own cat castle. Some are basic while others have multiple floors with small peep windows all over.
Decorative ones can also be found. These are the crazy ones! One look and you will understand. I have seen airplanes and trucks. They are cute though!
