Our cat soso loves to sleep inside of shoe boxes...even when she doesn't fit....Is there a reason why she would like to do this?

My cat likes to sleep in bags and shoe boxes...why?
I think it keeps them warm to be all snuggled up... cats are crazy! My cat used to do weird things like that all the time, he used to like hiding in small spaces so he'd get some peace %26amp; quiet while he napped lol I've also noticed that if you put a newspaper on the floor or table you can guarantee your cat will come and sit on it. Especially if you're reading it %26amp; it's dinner time. lol.

When my cat was a kitten, he used to sleep in this one pale pink pot all the time. But alas, he kept growing and one day, he tried jumping in, and he no longer fit. He also used to sleep in plastic bags. Nowadays, he'll sometimes climb into tight containers.
Reply:The reason why she does that is because.....she's a cat!


Cats are notorious for loving small, closed in places. My cats do it too, even though it looks very uncomfortable. But hey, they are happy, why not?


I don't think there is any 'normal' behavior when it comes to cats!
Reply:It makes them feel safe.
Reply:Have owned cats a long time and know how they enjoy paper bags, the noise factor and the comfort of being hidden, to pounce on anyone coming by.


Cats enjoy boxes for much the same reason but also seem to like being confined. Makes them feel secure. We always keep thick cardboard boxes around for them to lounge in and they also chew the flaps.
Reply:so does mine i think she feels safe
Reply:My cats do the same thing. I think they just like to be warm. But it's funny because they also like to sleep on top of things. Like really wierd things. If there is a piece of paper on the floor they must sleep on top of it. Or an article of clothing or anything that may seem uncomfortable. But for some reason cats love it...
Reply:Cats love the feeling of being enclosed and safe. I have never really understood this myself, but it is something that all cats seem to do. The bigger the cat, the smaller the box. My cat has grown quite a bit, but still goes right into my shoe boxes. She also has her own bowls in the living room that she has claimed as her own since she moved in. They just seem to make her seem safe and comfortable.


As far as bags go, I think she tries to hide in them. She puts her head and half her body in them, the tail usually sticks out. It's as if she can't see me, so I can't see her. Not the brightest animal in the world. Always surprised when I find her so easily. But, she's so beautiful, who needs brains.
