Why do cats like cardboard boxes?

[Catherine]

Quote:Yes they are exasperating one minute, and the next time you see them, they will come running towards you like they love you so very much  

They know just when to do this.

Quote:I've bought my cat some of the best cat beds going she likes the el cheapo one from a discount store the best,go figure.

We will never understand cats. I would call them mysterious, but they are way more confusing than that.
