Why do cats love boxes/enclosed spaces?
gpt
It's natural for animals to seek security, and for cats that means somewhere they can hide/sleep that doesn't leave them vulnerable to possible threats. A cardboard box offers the same kind of protection a cave or natural shelter might in nature.

Also the kinds of animals cats hunt often hide in burrows and enclosed spaces, so they might consider those boxes potential larders. On a related note, some cats hunt by finding somewhere out of sight to hide and pouncing on prey that comes too near their hidey-hole.
