Strange Habits: Why Cats Like to Hide Everywhere Except Their Bed

The cat chose the box again, but she pointedly ignores the bed.
Animals love to hide anywhere, and this is not just their whim.
It turns out they have their own reasons for acting this way.
Natural instincts
In nature, a cat hides to track down prey or to escape danger.
An open bed is not safe for her. She wants to feel like she is in ambush.
Give her a box with a slot in it or a corner of a closet.
Also try placing the lounger in a quiet corner and throwing an old sweater with your scent in it.
Warmth of the boxes
Tight spaces retain heat, and cats like to hide in cozy places.
The bag warms the cat, the cabinet protects it from drafts, but the bed is often cold and empty.
Therefore, place a warm blanket or heating pad underneath to entice your pet.
Curiosity
A new bag or box smells new when the cat is tired of the bed.
Move it from time to time and throw a toy nearby.
Cats like to hide where there is something to explore. They are looking for safety and interest, not a soft pillow.
The fluffy one will like the bed if you turn it into a mysterious place where the cat will be interested in being.
