It's common knowledge that if an empty box of any size is left unattended and a cat finds it, that cat will sit inside. Tiny cats in large boxes, large cats in tiny boxes —doesn't matter. "If I fits," the cat says in its little cat brain, "I sits."
Anyone who lives with a cat has seen this happen. And it doesn't even have to be a box; it turns out any square will do. A piece of paper, a laptop, anything rectangular seems to light up that box-sitting instinct in housecats.
In 2017, the Twitter hashtag #CatSquare highlighted this cat quirk. Merely taping an empty square on the floor was enough to lure a cat to sit or lie down inside it.
