I caught our cat jumping in one of the boxes under my desk. Why do cats do this?

One theory is that they feel safe in a box. But just the image of a square on the ground seems to also attract them.

All recent articles on the topic seem to refer to the same study.

More research is required.

Oh, they jump in other boxes and crates, too.
