It's the lack of interesting new information that drives humans to look into these portable screens. Humans aren't cats to be content with the 4 walls around them.
I'm not sure cats are content with the 4 walls around them, either. (Plenty of cats prefer the outdoors, even if they sleep inside.)
Well yeah - What do cats do? Hunt little critters and patrol/defend territory. It is difficult to get suitable environmental enrichment indoors for something that can't read.
I’ve seen many a cat enjoy cardboard boxes.
Ehhh... There is a reason they say curiosity killed the cat.
