Cats love cardboard boxes. Science has proved this to be a universal truth. Place a cardboard box on the floor, and any and all nearby cats will instantly hop inside of it.
But have you ever thought about which type of cardboard box is the best fit for your cat? Is it an oversized moving box? The ubiquitous Amazon Prime box? Or even a raggedy shoe box you long forget to throw away?
Well, wonder no more as we’ve decided to solve that little kitty dilemma for the ages in the most impartial way possible — by checking out Instagram pics and ranking cardboard boxes for your cat!
12. Half-Full Box
11. Moving Box
From what I can gather, this is one of many cardboard slices that formed a moving box. Craftily, this kitty has done some moving in of their own.
Remember, before you throw out your moving boxes, let your kitty pick out their favorite to keep!
10. Board Game Box

9. Amazon Prime Box
Cats are on board with the profligate spending, especially as it means they can expect a new cardboard box to lounge around in. The only issue is Amazon’s somewhat random approach to box sizing.
As the perturbed-looking Milo here has discovered, an undersized box can put a frown on any feline’s face.
8. Shoe Or Sneaker Box
Gold star!
7. Deep-Walled Box
Just check out the look of personal achievement on Dr. Catteus Lord Leicester’s face here; although, he’s quickly about to learn the metaphorical life lesson that leaping out is trickier than hopping in.
6. Collapsed Box
As this Burmese knows, improvisation is never to be frowned upon.
5. Cupcake Box
Everyone wins in this situation.
4. Box With Paper Packaging In It
It’s all about the crinkly noise.
3. Chewy Box
Although, attempting to combine a few together into some grand kitty architecture project is trickier than it seems.
2. Beer Box

1. USPS Priority Mail Box
Why? Because you can pop into any local post office and pick up a Priority Mail box for free and take it home for your cat.
As young Norton, pictured here, can testify, they make for perfectly snug lounge furniture.
