People Who’ve Mastered The Art Of Outwitting Felines Share Their Best Ever Cat Traps
Pet cats have their own little quirks, one being the ability to slip into the most unusual places around the house. Before you know it, you’re finding your furry feline friend balled up in a small cardboard box under your bed.
Many cat owners have since documented these funny episodes and shared them in a subreddit called “The Cat Trap Is Working.” Scrolling through the page, you’ll see photos and videos of house cats in fish tanks, on top of clothes, and cozily snuggled in the kitchen sink.
As always, we’ve picked out some of the best still images from the page. Whether or not you’re a cat owner, here’s your dose of giggles for today.

Beautiful short-haired Ankara. I'm guessing female from the eye color. We had one of these. She was the first cat to adopt us after we got married. Deaf as a post.

My cat has been living with me for 3 years, he has never been in a box... I left some lying around, but he is not interested at all

Set up the Christmas tree and stretched out a tree skirt at the base. 5 minutes later a four pawed fluffy gift had already set base there. Now we can’t place the gifts under the tree cause it’s her new “bed”. However, she never attacks the tree like the Internet kitties so I’ll give her credit for that!

Haha same. None of my cats bother with the tree. It's the dog we have to watch as he likes to nick the baubles.
