This Online Group Exists To Show All The Hilariously Adorable Ways Kitties Can Get “Cat Trapped” And Here Are 40 Of Their Newest Catches
Ah, cats. The neverending source for internet memes and entertainment for their owners. The adorable critters never cease to amaze humans with their behavior, especially when it comes to making themselves comfortable in the most random of places. Whether it’s a box, a sink, or a spot way more unexpected than that, they often leave their owners with no other choice but to document them curled up in places around the house.
That’s why the gallery of arguably every cat owner is typically filled with ‘If I fits, I sits’ kind of moments and other gems depicting life with a feline. An abundance of such adorable pictures can be found on ‘The Cat Trap Is Working’ subreddit. Owners establish “traps” the kitties can’t resist—everyone knows that no box is left unoccupied when there’s a cat around—and watch them fall for the set up. We have gathered some of their best examples of cats being “trapped”, which you will find on the list below. Scroll down and enjoy the images of these derpy lovable creatures.

Mommy Cat Hunting Tiny Screw Driver
fair_weather_rose (she/they) 3 years ago (edited)
Ever since the collapse of human society, life had been hard for Esmerelda. She had resorted to hunting tools to feed her kittens. While she herself had difficulty consuming these metal objects, her kittens, altered by the radioactivity left behind by humanity's fall, loved them. Luckily, Esmerelda had happened upon this baby screwdriver all by itself, the rest of its herd nowhere to be found. But she would have to act quickly before its notoriously protective mother returned...

I love the cat content on BP, it always makes my day a little brighter when I see lists like this one.

My tuxedo kitten Chadwick loves to run out of my room when I open my door. Fortunately, he's easy to catch: Put some kibble in his bowl and rattle it around, and he comes rushing back in.
