A Cat Basket- Why cats love wicker baskets?

Cat basket

Cats like to squeeze themselves into small spaces. They crawl into drawers, baskets, and boxes. ... Cats have a natural need for warmth and protection; their ever-present instinct tells them to be alert to dangers that might sneak up on them when they are dozing. If the enclosure has a top, that's even better.

"Cats are cryptic animals; they like to hide," Stephen Zawistowski, science adviser for the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, told Business Insider. "And a box gives them a place of safety and security."

Our office cats, friends and cats parents from the #DaisyFam show us how much cats love wicker baskets.

Cats and wicker baskets seem to have an unusual yet beautiful bond.

Here are some reasons why cats love wicker baskets-

Cats are no different than wild cats, they're just as alert are continuously aware yet curious of their surroundings. This attracts them to close and tight spaces making this basket with lids and a strong handle, the perfect place for them to hide or nap in at home and carry around when you go to the vet, for a picnic or hangout together.

3. Good for scratching
