Joanne the Sumatran Tiger is proof that they may be enormous, but they’re still just cats

As any cat owner knows, our little feline friends can’t resist a cardboard box. It’s often the box that contained the fantastic bed, scratchpost or toy that you bought them – which they’ll ignore.

A video posted on TikTok by Phoenix Zoo in Arizona made it clear that even our much, much bigger feline friends feel that same irresistible draw.

Joanne, a 15-year-old Sumatran Tiger – yes, she’s actually called Joanne – clearly loves what’s left of her cardboard box, and TikTok users loved seeing her play with it.

I still hate seeing big cats in captivity but it’s obvious that those in charge of her are doing something right.
