This video of an orange tabby nibbling on a cardboard box
has quietly taken over my feed—and I totally get why. The way he bites down with tiny crunches, eyes half-closed like he's in pure bliss, feels oddly satisfying to watch. If cats ever made ASMR content, this would be it.
So what’s going on here? No, your cat isn’t trying to destroy your Amazon packages out of spite. Many cats love biting cardboard because of the texture—it’s crunchy, gives a bit of resistance, and feels good on their teeth. It can be a form of play, stress relief, or even a sensory habit (kind of like a feline version of fidgeting).
Some cats just enjoy the "crispness" like we enjoy crunching chips.
Is it weird? Maybe. But is it relaxing to watch? Absolutely. Whether you’re a cat owner or just someone who loves oddly specific internet videos, this one hits that strange-but-soothing sweet spot. Worth every second.
