Cats love boxes.
No matter what you buy for them, how much you spend or how long it took you to assemble it, they'll always, always prefer the box it came in.

So why do cats love boxes? Scientists say that a box gives a cat a sense of security and protection on all sides. It provides a safe place to hide and keeps cats warm. It is also made of paper, manufactured from wood, so it smells like the trees outside, instinctually a cats natural habitat.
This may be the reason they love paper bags, too, but not plastic bags or the dreaded cat carrier which are made of plastic.
Clearly this owner saved some $$$ and made cats very, very happy.
Bonus:
And a reminder for the humans that serve cats:
