I was thinking about the “security” theory a couple months ago when I took this picture of a box my cat is obsessed with. https://twitter.com/Eric_WVGG/status/5

  Leftover predator behavior where a cat will attempt to camouflage themselves by picking a resting place that's already visually distinct from the background field.

  When I was a kid our family cat would "hide" by sticking his head under the skirting of a chair, meanwhile his entire body was visible. Cats like caves too such as bags I think they just like to be surrounded. As well as a perch cats need a perch too they must feel safe being up high. A box on a perch would be perfect but now we're getting into bird nest territory.
