Cats are going to claim cardboard boxes. It’s just their thing. As their human, you have two choices:

1. Leave a plain ugly cardboard box in the middle of your living room for months.

2. Make that boring box into a fabulous fort!

We’re happy to report that many of you choose option #2, and we have the photos to prove it (and inspire you next time your cat stakes claim to that Amazon box).
