That cat is named Maru, and he has a very well documented affinity for boxes.

Fantastic! Thanks for that!

Maru's channel is great to have at hand when you're having a bad day.

Maru is adorable 🥰

My personal pet theory: It's because most house cats spend their first weeks in some kind of box with their mother.
So they associate it with comfort their whole life.

"Pet" theory! Because a cat is a pet!

Ha!

The irony of "diet" on th box 😏

Maru is mostly fluff, though.

He's been shown wet in some videos and he's really quite slim under the hair.

(You can also see in this gif that he easily fits into the wrappers until he's going slow enough for friction to catch.)
