This is because in the wold, dogs seek out small and safe locations they can burrow into for warmth and safety. A crate performs that wonderfully, giving them a safe space that is theirs alone.

The first step involves collecting nectar from flowers, and transporting it back to the hive. The foraging bee carries this nectar in it’s ‘honey stomach’ adding enzymes as it goes to start it’s transformation into honey. It is then deposited in a honeycomb cell, where worker bees fan their wings over the cell until the moisture content is correct (17-18%). Then the cell is sealed and the honey is ready to eat.

Of course it’s very difficult to know unless you can get into the mind of a cat however it’s most likely that climbing is purely instinctual. There is no doubt that climbing a tree is a wonderful way for a cat to get away from a predator, and I have seen many instances of cats smirking at dogs below from the safety of a branch.
