What is it with cats and boxes?

My cat loves boxes (and any small, enclosed space), but is scared to death of the sound of a plastic bag being opened. Runs right out of the room.
And what is it with cats always liking to sit on any new flat object in the house?

Or paper bags. It's the perfect combo of a box and bag.

You didn't love boxes when you were a child? I remember distinctly enjoying a big vacuum box. It was my personal castle and a great hiding spot (in my mind).

Those fuckers love boxes, bags, suitcases, and pretty much anything they can put themselves into and explore like confused monkeys in space.
Also, if you're reading something, say a magazine, and it's flat on a table in front of you, they like to sidle up alongside and then put their asses all over what you're reading.

My friend's cat likes enclosed spaces. You could merely create a V-shaped opening between two things and he'll choose to lie down in that space. Take it to the next level and create caves out of furniture and whatnot. He was also partial to a duffle bag.
Possibly! Hah. But that might not cut it. More like, between two boxes or bins or something.
like my legs?
So much this. "Gah can you not sit 5 centimetres to the right??!" lol
What an awesome cat !

I bought a bed for my cat.
Took it out of the box and put it on the floor.
She ignored the bed and slept in the box.
Fucking cat.
I miss my cat
Sounds like a cat alright.

Oh god, the Maru videos. I can't stop.
I've learned not to spend any more money on toys and things for my cats. Expensive toys, balls, mice, etc, always end up ignored. I just give them toilet paper rolls, and they have a box they can chew on. Annoying as hell when it's 4 AM and I'm woken up by the sounds of them ripping that thing up! I'll go take it away, and one of them is inside and the other is fighting trying to get in as well.

The success of others absolutely infuriates me.
Despite being just cardboard, boxes are surprisingly comfy. Cats got the right idea.
Try the plastic ring that holds the the lid on the milk. One of us always just throws those on the floor for them to play with. One day, if we're lucky, we'll find them all.

My cat used to like boxes, bags, sinks, and q-tips. In the morning while I brushed my teeth she'd always be there to say g' morning and would always be there when I came home from school or work. Loved q-tips too, I'd throw one on the floor and she'd go nuts over that thing, after a few minutes she would lose it under the couch. Then she'd look at me like "aw man it got away!"
She died last year, I miss that dang cat.

Bottle caps, too. Cats are so weird. They'll hardly play with the expensive and interesting toys, but give them some everyday piece of trash and they'll play with it for hours.

Cats rarely play (unless it's maybe catnip filled) with what you buy them or sit in shit you buy them. My cats were always batting around hair ties and bread ties instead of their designated cat toys.

I'd like to unleash a swarm of cats in a warehouse full of boxes. Would this be a solid idea to bring to Kickstarter?

Any time a package comes in the mail, my wife and I leave the box out for our cats. 
My cat loves milk rings. :lol

Heh, my cat goes nuts for those rings. He entertains himself for hours.

my old cat would knock stuff off the stairs, usually Christmas ornaments, and they would shatter. She hated stuff being on counter tops. If there was a pen she'd bat it with her paw until it fell off and she'd just stare at it for a few seconds and find something else.
