Domestic cats are evolved/bred (I don't know which it is), from the animals that we now call ocelots, or their kin. I'm pretty sure that in an ocelot's normal life in the jungle, sitting up trees and occasionally waking up to yawn then go off to eat some small rodents, the idea of crawling into a small space enclosed by cardboard would not be an enticing prospect, indeed one that would be treated with some natural suspicion. I doubt that's how we, as humans, first caught and domesticated these wild creatures.
So why is it that as soon as you unpack any new product and leave the cardboard packaging on the floor - even one barely 4 inches high, like the box my new curtain poles came in this afternoon - each and every cat in the house has an irresistable urge to crawl right to the very end of said box, and glare menacingly at you if you attempt to suggest to it that it should come back out?
