Lets say you pack on around 10 lbs of muscle, then you stop working out. Does it go away?
Also heres another question. How come if cardio doesn't burn muscle, it is advised not to do it during the bulking cycle?

Like someone said before, muscles will shrink in size due to the lack of hypertrophy and the drawing in of water and blood. But just like fat, muscle has memory, and you can rather quickly gain back size of your muscle with proper training and nutrition. Key to prevention of losing size...NEVER STOP!-I'm the man in the box

In addition to your cardio and bulking question, it is because muscle needs calories. Even at rest, when you are doing nothing, muscle burns calories, if you use up your calories while running, jogging, or whatever cardio, your muscles will not be able to grow as well, simply because they are not getting all of the calories they need to stay in optimum condition. Though it will not really hinder strength, it will make it more difficult for your muscles to repair and be able to worked as frequently. Hope this helps, good luck!

Unless you very, very, gradually tone alllllllll the way down to sh*t, which sounds very depressing, note that the muscle will turn to fat. It wont go to blah all at once if you stop working out, but itll take some time. If you took a month or something off, you won't have toooooo bad of a problem. But try to avoid it.
