Cats Will Always Be Cats
Humans are still mystified as to why cats are so obsessed with boxes. Seriously, they find themselves boxes wherever they are. Yes, it makes them feel safe and secure, but some believe it relates to their natural hunting aspects. Maybe it’s just the ideal location for a cat to conceal oneself and be able to pounce and ambush a passerby, even your feet!
Despite what you may believe, no place or box is too small for a cat, even the bigger wild cats. We’re here to show you that no matter what, cats will be cats. So, yes we have even the most absurd photos of tigers trying to utilize boxes that are clearly too small. It’s not only the box obsession that has left us wondering. Now, when we talk about cats, we mean all cats from kittens to lions. Have you ever truly observed a lion or tiger, maybe at the zoo or even in the wild or on a nature documentary? It’s really fascinating.
Cats are very mysterious beings in general. Sometimes even the pets we hold most dear feel like complete strangers. You cannot always predict what a cat will do or how they’ll act. From their slow, lazy times to those wild bursts of energy! Honestly, they’re ready to plop down and nap wherever, even if that means in the most inconvenient spot. Yes, they love getting up to mischief. Sadly, they can love you one day, but hate you the next. Yet, once they put their belly up, you know they’re feeling safe, secure and loving towards you. Seriously, they’re just the cutest ever!
No Box Left Behind
For some bizarre reason, cats just cannot get enough of boxes. There seems to be no better place than a cozy box for a cat. No matter what the shape or size, no box will be left behind! Honestly, we think cats may love boxes more than their owners! Ah, the box…it’s a majestic place for cats.
No Box Left Behind
Leave Me To My Box
Sometimes a box is truly like the Goldilocks story…just right! This cat seems to have found its perfect fit. Now, the cat can enjoy some shuteye. In fact, this cat probably could easily sleep up to 20 hours in a box like this. Actually, even the king of the animals, the brave and ferocious lion, also enjoys a great deal of resting. Well, don’t worry, we’ll get there with some incredible pictures.
Leave Me To My Box
Really Though?
Lions will plop themselves down anywhere. We mean ANYWHERE! Now, try pushing a wheelbarrow full of lion! Not an easy task, that’s for sure! But we have to commend the lion on getting himself into that one. Hey, it kinda looks comfortable to be honest.
Really Though?
No Box No Problem
Listen, it’s not always about curling up inside the perfect box. A cat or lion has got to nap either way. This lion right here just passed on right on a comfy piece of cardboard because a cat’s gotta do what a cat’s gotta do. Anyway, cats are definitely cryptic animals. Thus, it’s no surprise they love hiding and a box provides the perfect spot. Just think back to your pregnant cat who sought out the safety of a box to give birth to her kittens.
No Box No Problem
No Cat Can Resist
Besides a box, cats cannot resist a good belly rub. Seriously, even tigers love some love and affection in the form of a scratch right on their belly. Hey, that means something when a tiger rolls over and leaves itself vulnerable. These tigers kept in captivity are much different than ones you find in the wild. So we do not suggest approaching any tigers.
No Cat Can Resist
How Precious!
Come on, is this not the most precious thing you’ve seen? Okay, it’s got to be the cutest photo you’ve seen of a tiger in the snow right? Makes you want to adopt a tiger!
How Precious!
Can’t Argue With That
Cats don’t grow out of this kind of stuff. Seriously, even big cats desire the security boxes provide. Even a ridiculous looking open, dilapidated box provides something valuable for this big cat. Clearly, cats prefer hidden spots so they can oversee what’s going on without fear of a surprise attack or any interruption.
Can’t Argue With That
Chilling Out Maxing, Relaxing All Cool
Again, not exactly the purpose of a box, but hey, it works for this lion! What a life though. Chilling out in the sun on a nice and big piece of cardboard. Even though he’s set up a relaxing spot, we’re sure if any prey were to prance by, this lion would be quick to chase. You don’t mess with a lion, even if they’ve set up shop on a cardboard box.
Chilling Out Maxing, Relaxing All Cool
Don’t Forget The Feet
This is quite the sight! Who would ever imagine that a fierce lion in the wild would ever let itself be vulnerable for some affection, let alone a gentle paw rub. Wow, and seeing it’s tongue hang out so relaxed is the icing on the cake. How cute!
Don’t Forget The Feet
Perfect Fit
Well, sorta. This leopard made it work, and we respect that! We told you, big cats love boxes too. Even if a box looks like trash to us, cats find a home in them. Actually, researches have found that boxes help cats deal with stress. Hey, maybe we should try a box nap sometime!
Perfect Fit
Make Yourself At Home
A house tiger…interesting, very interesting. Some people (and tigers) take the saying, ‘make yourself at home’ to heart. This tiger really has found the best spot: a couch just the right size for stretching out!
Make Yourself At Home
For Me?
Cats of all sizes know when there’s food or reward involved, it’s time to shape up. This one is patiently waiting for his reward, and it’s the most adorable thing! Have you ever seen such a large cat sit so patiently?
For Me?
Magical Box Powers
Although this lynx probably wants everyone to feel intimidated, we can see right through those heavy eyelids. Yes, he’s clearly helpless to the comforts of that cozy box. Yes, one reason cats find boxes irresistible would be the warmth they provide! Come on, is there anything better than a nice, warm nap?
Magical Box Powers
Sleepy Haze
Again, this puma is probably about to pass out because his box is just that enticing. Maybe he had a rough day and needed to relax his nerves with the box. As we said, boxes help cats with anxiety. Sometimes, in order to avoid a fight with another cat, they retreat to a favorite spot to cool off and enjoy peace and quiet.
Sleepy Haze
Hey, Move Over
Sometimes, boxes aren’t exactly accommodating for two. Well, these two are trying to make it work regardless. Besides boxes, cats love everything from bowls and shopping bags to bathroom sinks. Once they find a new cozy spot, they return to it time and time again when stressed.
Hey, Move Over
Lots Of Love
Seriously, they’re always so friendly when you’ve got something they want! This man received a nice slobbery lick for his generous offering of a milk carton. Who wouldn’t want to be a licked by a tiger?
Lots Of Love
No Matter The Size
Seriously, no matter the size of the cat or box, they’re always going to be curious! From house cats to cheetahs and tigers, they’re always excited to find a new box to explore and make a comfortable resting spot out of.
No Matter The Size
Where Do We Go From Here?
Ever hear the tale of a cat stuck in a tree? Is this what you were picturing? Yeah us either, but you know what they say…cats will always be cats!
Where Do We Go From Here?
Who Goes There?
Hey, I hear you! Show yourself! Just because a cat gets all cozy inside their box, doesn’t mean you can sneak up on them. No, they’re usually listening for an unfamiliar or suspicious noises.
Who Goes There?
Not Exactly
Sometimes, you just got to give up. Not this tiny one. No, he was determined to make the small box work for him. At least there’s an opening for him to breathe.
Not Exactly
True Way To Their Hearts
Again, we cannot emphasize enough how much all cats enjoy a good rub. Besides food, it’s probably the best way to their hearts! However, do not assume you can go right in for the tummy rub unless they present the proper body language first.
True Way To Their Hearts
Let’s Play
Hey, maybe this lion could use a nice foot rub too! However, I’m not ready to take my chances approaching him. Any takers? Yeah, didn’t think so. We’ll just enjoy his cuteness from afar.
Let’s Play
Just Another Toy
What we see as a household necessity is just another toy for cats. Seriously, have you ever left your bathroom door open with a cat in the house? We guarantee you’ll come home to a winter wonderland of toilet paper.
Just Another Toy
Not Much Of A Sharer
Now, this leopard looks a bit frisky. I definitely would not approach him and that pipe he’s claimed as his toy. It’s one thing to tease your cat at home with their toy, but with bigger cats, you don’t want to take that chance!
Not Much Of A Sharer
Hanging Toys For The Win
Something about the hanging toy is so enticing! Any cat owners know how much of a hit these fun toys can be. Well, turns out, they aren’t just for your small cats. No, cats of all sizes will always be cats…
Hanging Toys For The Win
Great Sleeping Buddies
I don’t know about you, but we’re getting some Mowgli vibes with this one. Okay, it’s not exactly The Jungle Book, but it’s really something to see a young boy cuddling so affectionately with a lion.
Great Sleeping Buddies
Don’t Mind If I Do
If anyone could approach a wild tiger, leave it to a peaceful monk. Monks aren’t known to eat large or even frequent meals, which makes this act of food sharing all the more kinder. The tiger did not think twice about digging in!
Don’t Mind If I Do
Awesome Cuddle Pals
So apparently, leopards love to cuddle! This animal looks so gentle. Maybe it’s in the eyes or just how closely the animal cuddled up this woman. Ugh, we want a turn next!
Awesome Cuddle Pals
Please Not The Vet, Please Not The Vet
Probably what this big cat is thinking. I mean all animals generally think that when they get in the car, right? Sometimes, it’s hard to calm their nerves or explain how necessary a visit to the vet really is!
Please Not The Vet, Please Not The Vet
Think You Could Help Me Out Here?
“C’mon man, you’ve gotta get me some of those delicious treats! Wait what’s in your pocket?” This lion is really trying to level with the man. Sadly, we don’t think he can help you out there.
Think You Could Help Me Out Here?
Not Ideal
I mean, the cat can still technically reach the food and eat, but is this really comfortable? Cats are such strange beings sometimes! We really don’t get it.
Not Ideal
Fashion Forward
Hey, not everyone is a conformist. Some of us, like this cat, are looking to make more of a statement with our fashion choices. This is definitely unique. Not practical, but different.
Fashion Forward
Just Hanging Around
Ever open your closet to a sight like this? Looks like this cat was caught in the act…the act of hanging. I mean honestly, I might just leave the cat as is…it looks like it found the sweat spot in all those hangers.
Just Hanging Around
Who Said Cats Aren’t Deep?
Wow, looking at this reflective cat staring through the window really hits you, doesn’t it? You can’t help but anthropomorphize and claim that this kitty is an existentialist wondering what’s the point of it all. Deep right?
Who Said Cats Aren’t Deep?
All About Comfort
Not much is cuter than kids and pets cuddled up! How cat like for this tiny kitty to find just the right spot on his favorite boy’s shoulder in the car-seat to enjoy a nice nap with his buddy.

Sometimes you just ask why. Other times you can totally relate. We’ve all experienced this. There’s no reason to pop such a perfect balloon, but also there’s every reason. So go wild!
Completely Necessary
Feisty Fighter
This kitty is ready to take on the world, but first that pesky dark thing! The poor kitten is still bewildered by the image of a shadow but is willing to stand up to whatever this strange dark thing is!
Feisty Fighter
It’s The Little Things
Not many things in life are much better than the sweet feeling of a gentle head massage. For cats, this can come in the form of a light brushing with what appears to be a vacuum. (Turned off vacuum for sure!)
It’s The Little Things
Napping Anywhere
Talk about the simple pleasures! This kitten found the best napping location with just the right amount of sunlight. Sure, a rock bed doesn’t sound too appealing, but don’t knock it ’til you try it.
Napping Anywhere
Caught Ya!
Nothing like a good surprise attack! Hey, this kitty got some sweat air on that jump. I’m sure the unsuspecting cat is used to this kind of rough play. Cats will be cats and surely, kittens will be kittens.
Caught Ya!
Hold Me Closer Tiny Dancer
Can you think of a better dance partner than this flexible feline? Us either! What a great duo these two make. Hey, can we sign up for your dance class?
Hold Me Closer Tiny Dancer
Never Let You Go
Just as cute as the bond between humans and animals, has to be the bond between animals themselves. How adorable is this act of protection? We cannot get over the fierce guard face accompanied by the gentle grasp!
Never Let You Go
Innovative Sleeper
Not exactly what we imagine when we picture a napping cat. However, our feline friends are always surprising us with their nimble acts. Whatever works for you, man!
Innovative Sleeper
Quite The Disguise
I spy with my little cat eye…But actually, what did this silly cat expect from this bag? Maybe he really thinks it’s a great disguise for his spy-like behavior. Cats are so tricky. We never really know what they’re up to!
Quite The Disguise
We Can Still See You Buddy
Speaking of odd and poorly executed disguises, here’s the worst cat to play hide and seek with, unless you’re the seeker that is! Hey, next time buddy try to cover your paws and tail too. Nice try.
We Can Still See You Buddy
Not A Fan Of Sweater Weather
We got double trouble with this one. Seriously, never underestimate a cat…they will come at you with everything. This tiny cat does not appreciate sweaters and he’s ready to stand up and fight.
Not A Fan Of Sweater Weather
Built For Two
Another adorable example of the bond between children and their pet cats. This furry friend knew just how to snuggle into the baby’s car-seat so they both felt most comfortable for nap time.
Built For Two
He’s Mine
Listen, cats are going to be cats. No, they don’t care who they trample over in the process or who they need to climb and claim ownership of, like this young boy. Well, at least he’s also having fun!
He’s Mine
So Close
Ah, so close but yet so faraway. Okay, but quick question. How did this cat even maneuver himself into the half-in, half-out position he’s in anyway? Sometimes, cats truly amaze us!
So Close
Natural Gymnast
If you have a cat, you know how much they enjoy climbing onto and hanging from poles. Imagine walking into your bathroom to find this….Well, cat owners wouldn’t be all too surprised actually.
Natural Gymnast
Sacred Act Of Eating
Eating is a very sacred process and each cat takes it differently. Apparently, this black cat decided the best position to eat and drink from is a completely flat, sprawled out position. Cats will be cats…
Sacred Act Of Eating
Her Turn Now
Yes, cats are children too and if they see fun toys, you can guarantee they’ll try them out. Come on, a rocking horse is not only for kids. Look how much this cat is enjoying herself!
Her Turn Now
So Polite
When most pets beg for food it’s loud, annoying and irritating to the owner. How could anyone say no to this face? Come on, the cat is just so adorable sitting at the table patiently waiting.
So Polite
No, Like This
Watch and learn my friend. This cat is showing its owner that changing a light bulb is fairly easy. How handy would it be if you could train your cats to change light bulbs? However, from all these pictures we have a feeling you would end up with more of a mess on your hands.
No, Like This
Somehow It Works
Why buy your cat a nice and expensive cat bed when you know they’ll end up sleeping in the oddest places? Seriously, they have no preference for a cozy bed over the empty space between a couch and nightstand.
Somehow It Works
Cats Love Poles
One of the many thing our feline friends cannot resist would be a pole. Yes, this is a very odd thing to walk in on, but hey, the cat seems to be enjoying himself very much.
Cats Love Poles
Wait Until You See It
When you’re just chilling on the couch and you look up and see your cat appears to be possessed! Yeah, it happens all the time, we guarantee. Although it’s alarming to us, cats will always find their ways into these bizarre situations.
Wait Until You See It
Peek-A-Boo
Wow, these moments make us laugh, but if you’re the one who bought the couch it can be hard to find these moments as adorable. Yeah, that’s the pain of having cats…you can’t have nice things.
Peek-A-Boo
Nailed It
Apparently, this ambitious cat tried to get into the fridge every single time the owner opened the door. At last, the cat nailed his jump. Thus, this is the face of a champion!
Nailed It
Spooky
This picture is half creepy but half hysterical. Often things cats do fall into both categories somehow. I mean it’s something about the contortion of its body and that straight stare into your soul. Oh, cats are just so mysterious!
Spooky
One Man’s Dirty Jeans, One Cat’s Bed
You throw on some sweats and leave your dirty jeans on the bed. That’s when your cat comes along and sees them as the best place for a nap.

New Lengths For Water
Not sure it had to be that complicated to get a drink of water, but you know how cats can be. This is pretty impressive, none the less.

This cat is extremely chill. I mean not many other pets would let their own just stack a bunch of random things on their belly.
Pile It On
Nosy Neighbor
This cat looks like your classic nosy neighbor out to snoop on what’s going on down the street. However, he’s just got one thing wrong…not sure how much intel he’s getting from that wall of snow. The paws on his hips are great though!
Nosy Neighbor
Batman
Not all cats can be heroes, but we have to put our money on this one. I mean how could he not be super-cat with an authentic Batman look like his?
Batman
Shopping Trip
Everyone loves a good miniature set and this mini shopping cart with a kitten is too cute. Now, on top of that we get to see its parent push it around. How adorable is this?

Yes, we are all used to finding cats in the strangest places ever. So, not surprised that the cat squeezed itself into that nook. However, we have to ask what’s up with the ham? Very strange indeed.
But Why Ham?
Practicing Meditation
Honestly, this cat could be our new meditation guide. She sits so calmly, staring off, we really need to take a page out of her book and become more zen-like.
Practicing Meditation
Unlikely Friends
Since cats are temperamental and not always the most social or cuddly, it may surprise you to see that this cat made friends with the pet Guinea Pig. Apparently, this is quite common. Who would have thought?
Unlikely Friends
That’s Mine!
Listen, we totally understand how one could be possessive over their Ben & Jerry’s, but sorry, cat this is one battle you will just not win. Ben & Jerry’s is just too precious.
That’s Mine!
Coach Potato
Come on, this is probably the epitome of a cat photo. Can you picture a more classic photo of a cat on a mini coach? Yeah, we thought so… This wins.
Couch Potato
Don’t Mind Me
I mean, we all know that cats do NOT want to be bothered. However, it’s something about the sunglasses that really radiate that carefree attitude in this photo. Even if your cat settles into a place they shouldn’t be, think twice about bothering them!
Don’t Mind Me
Tucked Away
Honestly, this is just so adorable. Cat or dog lover, you are guaranteed to love this picture! They both look so innocent and calm, hanging out in that cozy basket under the bed.

Before The Downfall
This is a pretty sick picture, but we can’t help and wonder what exactly happened right after this photo was captured. We’re guessing it may have been a bit of a nightmare!
Before The Downfall
If At First You Don’t Succeed
We have a feeling that this poor cat has tried about a thousand times to get through the tiny pet door with that feather duster. I mean, you have to applaud her effort.
If At First You Don’t Succeed
Do Not Disturb
It looks like someone just walked in on something they shouldn’t have…Well, that’s maybe how cats always appear. They’re never really in the mood to be disturbed or intruded on.

When You Give Up
Loyalty
For everyone who says dogs are better because they’re more affectionate and loyal…take this! This is so pure. You really cannot deny it. Cats can be a major pain, but they do have sweet sides.

Whatever Suits You
Hey, he isn’t hurting anyone right? Sometimes, you look at your cat with a diaper on his head and say, whatever! Let him be because he clearly is enjoying himself.
Whatever Suits You

Okay, we are all for the cats and dogs getting along. We even really enjoyed the fact that the cat climbed onto the very calm dog. However, it’s that top layer that makes us weary…
