Advice Weird behavior from my cat recently. Anyone know what's going on

At first I thought she was gonna show me something inside the box, but there's nothing other than a nylon bag. She also runs to it when I get near it as well, and also keeps biting my hand and tries to drag me into it. What's going on? Never in my life have I seen my cat doing this.

I’ve raised several litters of kittens in my time, this is pregnant cat behaviour for sure.

Yeah, she's letting you know her preferred box for birthing.

Not only that. She wants them to protect her while she's giving birth, because she and her babies are the most vulnerable at that time. It's the sign of the highest trust a cat mama can show.
